Ravichandran Ashwin created history by being the spinner with best strike rate (49.4) in the past 100 years. He claimed 27 wickets in the three Test Match series against New Zealand and honoured with Man of Series award for his valuable contribution.
At the time when everyone is heaping praises on the Off-Spinner, Harbhajan Singh commented He and Anil Kumble might have performed even better if such turning tracks were provided when they had played. Indian skipper Virat Kohli gave a fitting reply by saying one has to bowl well to take wickets even on turning tracks and regulations/shoulder usage is the key for wickets.
While Ashwin took 220 wickets in 39 Tests, Bhajji managed 417 wickets in 103 Tests. Turbonator took just 2 wickets and gave away 84 runs in the Test march against England in 2012. In the match against Australia in Kanpur, Bhajji's figures were 3 wickets for 143 runs. Whereas, Ashwin managed to get 12 wickets. In the Hyderabad Test, Bhajji took only 2 Wickets but Aswin & Jadeja claimed 6 wickets each. Stats show Ashwin is far ahead of Harbhajan but the senior cricketer is unable to accept the reality and this makes people wonder if he is jealous of his Junior.
