Guptill went on to say that Ashwin has never bowled him a bad ball. Ashwin’s discipline, according to the senior batsman. He finds it “simply very difficult to get away” because of the shift in pace.
“He’s a wily bowler, he’s got great control of his line and length and he doesn’t bowl bad balls. I don’t remember him bowling me any bad bowls throughout his career. He’s very difficult to get away, you know, his change of pace is so subtle and so well-controlled, he’s very hard to get away,” Martin Guptill said.
