Both R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bring in difficult challenges, states Aaron Finch

Australia’s limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch started a Q&A session on Twitter as he answered a huge number of questions that were fired at him by his fans. During the session, Finch took a dig at the potent spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as he answered a question.

In the last few years, India has seen a steady progress in their performances in the longest format of the game and it won’t be a mistake to say that the revolution was more or less shouldered by the duo of Ashwin and Jadeja, two of the finest in the world, before batsmen and then pace bowlers took over the duty. 

When a Twitterati asked, "Which is more difficult??? Facing Ashwin or Jadeja," Finch admitted that both the bowlers brought a different set of skills to the table.

"Both have difficult challenges. Ashwin can spin it big with a lot of variation. Jadeja always challenges the stumps and your defence," the reply read.

Yet another question hurled at the opener which asked about the toughest bowler he has faced in his career. Finch replied, "Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal and Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan."

The Aussie skipper was hit on the helmet, earlier on Saturday, while fielding during Victoria's Marsh Sheffield Shield clash with New South Wales at the MCG. Having been hit when Steve O’Keefe flicked James Pattinson, on the second day of the encounter, Finch was substituted by Travis Dean for the remainder of the match.
