Chepauk, left-handers in Aus squad tilt scales towards Ash
Hindustan Times|October 08, 2023
In India's stirring 2011 World Cup triumph, R Ashwin, a rookie then who was secondary to Harbhajan Singh in the rank of off-spinners, played two matches. The first was against West Indies in Chennai and the second against Australia in Ahmedabad. Will Ashwin play against Australia in Chennai in 2023?
Vivek Krishnan

As things stand, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja have been playing regularly to perhaps merit selection ahead of Ashwin if India stick to two spinners. But if horses for courses is India's thing, like it was in MS Dhoni's time, Ashwin's inclusion at Chepauk has a lot going for it. First, he's likely to have an encyclopedic knowledge about the MA Chidambaram Stadium's intricacies like nobody else in the team. From the direction of the wind to the degree of turn and the dimensions of the boundary, Ashwin has all of it figured out in his ever-ticking brain.

Gems from a Guru, who transformed the Gram

One who points his finger not to the world but the heaven to say that \"someone is taking care\" ought to be god-fearing. But if the person adds that he's \"doing his bit here (on earth)\" then he's certainly a karmayogi.
