Ravichandran Ashwin On Ramakrishna Ghosh

Ramakrishna Ghosh, who was part of the CSK squad last season, didn't get an opportunity to play for the franchise. Ashwin said that the tall right-arm bowling all-rounder can consistently clock at speeds of 135-140 km/hr and is equally capable of clearing the ropes with ease.

Ghosh delivered an impressive performance in the Maharashtra Premier League, picking up seven wickets while also contributing valuable runs. He has been impactful with both bat and ball, registering a 73-run knock, chipping in with multiple two to three-wicket spells, and even claiming a remarkable seven-wicket haul. Ashwin also emphasised that Ghosh belongs to the rarest of the rare commodities in Indian cricket, a genuine fast-bowling all-rounder.

The former Indian cricketer believes that India needs many more fast-bowling all-rounder options. Ghosh also possesses the ideal physical attributes, he is tall, strong, and capable of bowling at pace while also being a powerful hitter. He is certainly a player to watch out for in the future. While he still needs opportunities and exposure, he is clearly making a strong case for himself and showing that he belongs at the highest level.
