India’s best off-spinner Ravi Ashwin, is now in England, preparing for a high-profile tournament that begins on June 18. Ashwin will be an important part of the side that will rise to the challenge of defeating New Zealand in the World Test Championship final. In a recent turn of events, however, the top spinner took to social media to clarify a situation in which he had been accused. Here is the perspective of Ashwin on Doosra Rule.
According to reports in the media, Ashwin has asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) to relax the 15-degree guideline to allow bowlers to give space for ‘doosra.’ The 34-year-old, however, cleared the air and stated that he would never make such requests to the governing body of cricket. In fact, he criticized the ‘reports’ for containing such irrelevant and false information.
Ashwin’s Tweet on Doosra Rule
“Really? Pls, don’t carry wrong stuff I will never say such a thing.”
“Wrong wrong wrong! My channel is done for all the right reasons and audience to know cricket better. If you can’t get such basic stuff right in translation, pls don’t carry such poor news,” tweeted Ashwin.
Really?? Pls don’t carry wrong stuff!! I will never say such a thing.

Random media source misunderstood Ashwin’s Tweets
According to reports, a random media source misunderstood Ashwin’s media channel and added that he wants the ICC to loosen regulation for bowlers that will allow them to bowl “doosra,” a form of off-spin delivery.
When it comes to Ashwin, he was recently caught up in another round of headlines when Sanjay Manjrekar remarked that the off-spinner does not belong on his list of India’s all-time match winners. Various cricketing figures voiced opposing views to Manjrekar’s, including Ashwin, who sarcastically responded to his statement.
In the 78 Test matches he has played so far, India’s spin specialist has 409 Test wickets at an average of 24.69. He also has thirty five-wicket deliveries and seven ten-wicket pulls, making him India’s fourth-highest wicket-taker in the game’s purest format. It would be interesting to see how he would turn the tables for India at the upcoming WTC.
