Dinesh Karthik Supports Ravichandran Ashwin On His SENA Performances India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has said that it's totally unfair to focus only on Ravichandran Ashwin's performances in the SENA countries, citing that the veteran India off-spinner is a keen learner of the game who wants to improve every day as well. Dinesh Karthik, while speaking to Sports Today, said that there are many good things to talk about Ashwin and the talk about his overseas performances is not necessary too. However, his comments came after former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that he doesn’t consider him a great bowler as the off-spinner does not have a 5-wicket haul in the SENA countries.

"When it comes to Ashwin, a lot of things have been said about his performances in SENA continues. I think it's a tad bit unfair. Even if you see the way he has bowled in Australia, the pressure he has been able to create and his ability to get good batsmen out." Karthik said. Image Source by twitter
"You have to understand the quality of pace bowlers we have. When we go abroad, they tend to pick up a lot of wickets. A spinner's role, a lot of times, especially when the pitch doesn't do much is to not give too many runs and Ashwin does it brilliantly well. When it comes to playing in India, we have seen the wickets he picks, he is an absolute legend in India and he has put up so many performances and won more Man of the Series Awards for India than anybody else in such a short time,” he further added. However, the batsman again said that everyone should focus on what he has done and while saying so he cited the example of how he has been able to pick up wickets while bowling long spells and keep the opponents under pressure as well. However, Ashwin is currently in England with the Indian team which will play against New Zealand and England in the WTC Final and a five-match Test series respectively.
