Ravichandran Ashwin's 'IPL' Post On Afghanistan Star reads, “Notice Me Please” Goes Viral
The hopes of the Afghanistan cricket team of salvaging their pride were dashed on Wednesday following a crushing loss in the third and final T20I against India in Bengaluru. Having already conceded the series, the visitors tested India to the limit by forcing not one but two Super Overs under the light. After scores were level twice at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Afghanistan needed 12 runs in the second Super Over. However, the visitors lost two wickets in as many balls as India sneaked in a famous win.
While chasing the target of 212 runs, Afghanistan rode on half-centuries from Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, and Gulbadin Naib to level the score against India.
Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was mightily impressed with Naib's performance. The 32-year-old had also scored a quickfire half-century in the second match in Indore. Ashwin pointed out that Naib has proven himself as a finisher, urging the IPL franchises to look out for the player in the future.
Ashwin wrote on X, "Gulbadin Naib says, "Notice me, please, will you?" I am a finisher from Asia with a base price of 50 L. Fantastic batting to get this game to a super over.”
