Team India’s premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin recently took a rapid-fire quiz, in which he equated the Indian cricket heroes to the star footballers.
In a candid chat with bcci.tv, Ashwin likened himself to former Russian and Arsenal star Andre🐈y Arshavin for the familiarity in the name.
“Not in terms of looks but names probably,” said the World no. 1 Test bowler.
According to Ashwin, Virat🎃 Kohliও and MS Dhoni are like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
“Virat Kohli, I think is Cristiano Ronaldo. MS Dhoni is (similar to) Lionel Messi — in terms of character and the calmness that he exhibits,” said Ashwin.
“Yuvraj Singh is Fernando Torres, who sticks around the D and rise to get a header in,” added Ashwin.
