Bangladesh cricketer Tamim Iqbal feels R Ashwin’s significance is as large as batting greats like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in India.
Tamim, who’s working as one of many pundits-cum-commentator for Bangladesh’s tour of India, did not flinch as he put Ashwin in the identical bracket as Virat and Rohit.
“That was brilliant what he did, he was batting like a proper batter. I come from a different country. What I always hear is Virat Kohlis and Rohit Sharmas but Ravichandran Ashwin is equally important in my eyes. Because we only talk about when they do well, when they get the hundreds, they get five six wickets. But their contribution to this Indian team is immense. It’s as big as Rohit as big as Virat Kohli,” mentioned Tamim Iqbal on Jio Cinema.
