Ashwin is very much like Anil Kumble: Srinath
In his column written for the ICC website, he said: "Irrespective of what happened in the Zimbabwe game where Brendan Taylor played a memorable innings, R Ashwin remains a key player of the Indian side, no matter who the opposition is. He is turning out to be one of the very few spinners in the competition commanding tremendous respect from every team. He is very much like Anil Kumble."
"Dhoni is happy using him in the first 10 overs, in the Batting Power Play and at the death too. That’s because Dhoni sees him as a wicket-taking bowler, not as someone who will only look to contain the opposition. In Mohammed Shami and Ashwin, Dhoni has two strike bowlers, which is excellent news for a captain because he isn’t just thinking of finishing off the quota of overs," he said.
India will platy against Bangladesh in a quater-finals clash on Thursday.
