Ravichandran Ashwin’s Winning Formula to Unsettle Australia
Even though his place in the World Test Championship Final 2023 may not be secured yet, Ravichandran Ashwin has already devised a successful plan to outwit Australia. To ensure success, the ace off-spinner has collaborated with data analyst Prasanna Agoram. They have analyzed the trajectory, degree of turn and the shots Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne have used against spin, in order to prepare for the one-off IND vs AUS clash at the Oval.
Early Preparations for the WTC Final
In order to adapt to the time difference in England, Ashwin started to adjust his sleep cycle during IPL 2023. He started to go to bed earlier to ensure he was well-rested for the Test, as there was not much time between IPL and WTC Final.
Making the transition from white ball to red ball takes time, from sleep cycle to bowling. Prasanna Agoram said that Ashwin started to undo his old habits, such as going to bed early if Rajasthan didn’t have a game.
Conclusion
Ravichandran Ashwin has clearly been putting in the effort to ensure he is well-prepared for the World Test Championship Final 2023. With the help of data analyst Prasanna Agoram, Ashwin has been able to make a winning formula to unsettle Australia. His meticulous planning and early preparations have given him the best chance to succeed in the upcoming match.
