Ravichandran Ashwin’s Winning Formula to Unsettle Australia Ahead of WTC Final 2023
Though Ravichandran Ashwin’s place in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023 may not be secured yet, he has already formulated a strategy to defeat Australia. To prepare himself for the one-off IND vs AUS match at the Oval, the ace off-spinner has sought the help of data analyst Prasanna Agoram. Ashwin has studied the trajectory, degree of turn on a particular day, and the shots Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne have used against spin.
In order to adjust to the time difference in England, Ashwin has started changing his sleep cycle during the IPL 2023. He has been going to bed early so that he can remain fresh for the Test, since there is not a long turnaround time between IPL and WTC Final.
Prasanna Agoram shared that Ashwin has been trying to undo his old habits. He has been trying to get into the routine of going to bed early even when Rajasthan did not have a game. This is to help him transition from white ball to red ball, which takes time and involves changing his sleep cycle and bowling style.
