Ashwin’s amazing bowling, was it a big mistake not to give chances in the initial matches

T20 World Cup: Team India has kept alive its hopes of winning the World Cup by registering a 66-run win against Afghanistan in the match on Wednesday night. Rohit-Rahul’s opening partnership contributed a lot in this victory. Along with this, R Ashwin impressed the most in bowling.

Team India needed a big win to stay in the World Cup race. Ashwin fulfilled this need. He gave only 14 runs in 4 overs and sent 2 Afghan players to the pavilion. Due to this tremendous performance of Ashwin, Team India could win by a big margin. On the basis of his performance, he also showed the team management that keeping him out of the playing XI in the initial matches was a big mistake.

In place of Ashwin, Varun Chakraborty was a flop
An experienced bowler like Ashwin was kept out of both the Super-12 matches despite his good performance in the World Cup practice matches. Team India also had to bear the brunt of this. Against Pakistan and New Zealand, Indian bowlers got only 2 wickets and both these wickets went to fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Varun Chakraborty, who was included in the playing XI in place of Ashwin, was unable to take wickets in both the opening matches.

Ashwin included in T20 squad after four years
Ashwin was away from T20 International cricket for four years. He was selected for the T20 World Cup because the team was looking for an experienced spinner. However, he was not given a chance in the initial matches. Many former players also criticized this decision. Former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar had even expressed surprise that it was a matter of investigation as to why Ashwin was not included in the playing XI.
