  1. Sanjay Manjrekar Reveals He Doesn’t Consider R Ashwin as an All-Time Great Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has a ‘few problems’ in considering veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin as an all-time great bowler as he hasn’t taken any wicket in the SENA countries - South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia. R Ashwin has claimed 409 wickets in 78 Tests so far which also included 30 five-wicket hauls as well. Among them, 286 scalps have come in India which also included 24 five-wicket hauls. “When people start talking about him as being one of the all-time greats of the game then I have a few problems,” Manjrekar said on ESPNcricinfo. “One basic problem I have with Ashwin is that when you look at SENA countries, Ashwin doesn’t have a single five-wicket haul there,” he added.

  2. However, Manjrekar also said that despite his enviable record on Indian pitches, another India all- rounder Ravindra Jadeja has similar wicket-taking abilities. “And the other thing when you talk about him running through sides on Indian pitches that are suited to his kind of bowling is that in the last four years, Jadeja has matched him with wicket-taking abilities,” Manjrekar said. He even gave Axar Patel’s example who made his Test debut against England earlier this year and took 27 wickets in three Tests. Meanwhile, Ashwin ended the series as the top wicket-taker with 32 scalps but having played in all the games as well. “Then, interestingly, in the last series against England, Axar Patel got more wickets than Ashwin on similar pitches. So that is my problem with accepting Ashwin as a real all-time great,” Manjrekar said. On the other hand, former Australia captain Ian Chappell disagrees with Manjrekar and he believes that the current Indian attack is one of the best and he also claimed that it’s been so strong that the wickets are being shared around more as well.
