New Delhi: Former India coach and veteran batsman Ravi Shastri has praised the Indian spinners. He believes that Ravichandran Ashwin can easily fit into India’s all-time best XI. Also he said that Ravindra Jadeja is on track to do similar work. Ashwin has already taken 463 Test wickets during his illustrious 12-year international career and Shastri has no doubt that he ranks among India’s best spinners of all time.
Shastri told the ICC, ‘I never compare eras, but the record he (Ashwin) has. Especially in Indian conditions – that would make him a favorite to be included in the (all-time XI) team. He said, ‘He is something else in Indian conditions. I mean, you have seen some great spinners in the past. He comes from among them. The fact that he gets you runs at crucial stages. It makes a lot of difference. Told Jadeja more dangerous than Ashwin
Ravi Shastri also believes that if the 34-year-old Jadeja continues his recent good form with both bat and ball, he could join Ashwin in his all-time India XI. Let us tell you that the left-handed all-rounder has performed brilliantly with both bat and ball in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. In Nagpur, he took five wickets and scored a brilliant half-century. After this, he achieved his career best bowling figures (7/42) in the second match. He said, ‘Jadeja will be given credit (he deserves). There is no question about it. In the last year and a half, he has been brilliant as he has realized his potential. The former great further mentioned that the left-handed all-rounder becomes even more dangerous than Ashwin when the conditions suit his skills.
