Ravichandran Ashwin may have been rested by the BCCI, but his epic witty one-liners on Twitter has continued to pour in. Replying to a follower, who asked him to learn from Moeen Ali’s fantastic spell, Ashwin being himself, replied that he tuned the TV in after he finished his spell on purpose.

Last month, Ashwin had responded to a critical follower, who accused him of not supporting Tamil Nadu by not playing in the Ranji Trophy semis against Mumbai. But Ashwin, who had enough reason to justify his absence, had reminded his fan that he is just another human being who needs timely rest. Yesterday, Ashwin retorted to another user with a fitting and sarcastic response. 

In the second T20 International match between India and England, Moeen Ali did well to keep Indian batters in check. He gave away only 20 runs in his stipulated quota of 4 overs, and also took Yuvraj Singh’s wicket. While he was brilliant with his performance, a Twitter user tweeted, “@ashwinravi99 are you watching @MoeenAli bowl, learn something as you are anyway not playing”

Ashwin, who was rested by the Board keeping an eye on the busy international calendar, replied with his usual witty way. He wrote, “@skrajath I tuned in after he finished his spell on purpose.”

Ashwin was the highest wicket-taker for India in 2016 and also proved his credentials as an all-rounder last year. But his start to the new year didn’t go that well as he remained unsuccessful in the One-day series, before getting rested by the BCCI for the T20 series.
