“I tried to call Ashwin a few times to congratulate him for the 100th Test. But he cut my call. Sent a message but got no reply. That is the respect that former players get.”- Laxman Sivaramakrishnan responded on X platform. “Respect comes only from cultured people. I only corrected Ashwin’s action, I did not criticize him.
Earlier, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan mocked Ashwin’s bowling. Laxman’s criticism was that if there was no Dhoni, Ashwin would have to wait for an opportunity. “Indian batsmen are struggling against spin bowling. Because the pitches in India were prepared for Ashwin to play Tests. Harbhajan Singh was bowling well at that time. If it was not for Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni, Ashwin would have had to wait for the opportunity.
Tried calling him a few times to wish him for his 100th Test. Just cut off my call. Sent him a message, no reply. Thats the respect we former cricketers get
