Teesra is no reality, says Ravi Ashwin

Indian spin bowler Ravi Ashwin has said that there is no such thing as teesra and a regular off-spinner just has two basic deliveries to work with.

Saeed Ajmal talked about his new delivery ahead of Pakistan’s series against England, however, the pundits called it just a part of metal games.

The bowlers are creating new variations to make things tricky for the batsmen, but Ashwin believes the tweakers need to stick to their basic. Talking about Amjal’s claim about producing a new delivery teesra, he said:

"I don’t think there’s anything like ‘teesra’, ‘chautha’ or ‘paanchwa’ that exists! There are two basic deliveries – one that comes into the batsman and the one that goes away."

The 25-year-old has somehow become a permanent member of India’s squad for all three formats of the game. After his inclusion, Harbhajan Singh has consistently been ignoring over the past few months. When asked about his comparison with the senior fellow,
he shared:

"I have never been bothered one bit about comparisons with Harbhajan Singh. I am completely focussed on my job, once I enter the playing arena. Nothing else bothers me. I believe that I do my job just like you journalists do your job."

"Leading an attack for your country means a lot of responsibility. You have to perform consistently and keep the flag flying high. It’s a challenge that I have always relished. I am looking forward to new season."

India and Sri Lanka are all set to meet in a complete bilateral series. The offie has enjoyed a decent break prior to the start of this season and talking about how this break will help him, he explained that a gap has helped him regain the momentum.

He explained, "I don’t want to think too far ahead about what I intend to achieve mentally. But it has been a good break and it has helped me to get fresh before the new season starts."

"I haven’t worked on any specific technicalities. It will really be a long season and my aim would be to remain fit and last the whole season."
