Nothing was out of place only that he was practising left-handed and the accompanying tweet read “The desire to ignite something different everyday never burns out.” It was perhaps his way of telling the world that may be “left” would have been the “right choice.”

A couple of days back, Ravichandran Ashwin posted pictures on social media in which he was seen doing shadow batting. In one, he was playing the cover drive and in the other, he could be seen practising leaving the deliveries.

Nothing was out of place only that he was practising left-handed and the accompanying tweet read “The desire to ignite something different everyday never burns out.” It was perhaps his way of telling the world that may be “left” would have been the “right choice.”
On Thursday, Virat Kohli once again announced at the toss that Ashwin would not be among the five best bowlers who would be playing the Oval Test. Ravindra Jadeja, with two wickets from last three Tests, was persisted with for his left-handed willow wielding.
“The non selection of @ashwinravi99 has to be the greatest NON selection we have ever witnessed across 4 Tests in the UK !!! 413 Test wickets & 5 Test 100s !!!! Madness,” former England captain Michael Vaughan was aghast on Twitter.
One can discount Vaughan, whose comments on Indian cricket can be way off the mark, but even the normally reticent and elegant Mark Waugh was sharp. “Makes you wonder if the Indian think tank have any clue,” Waugh replied on Vaughan’s comments section.
