Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who used to play cricket for India, mentioned that Chris Gayle could easily smack any bowler all over the field. But R. Ashwin<\/a> only needed four balls to get him out. Srikkanth joked that Gayle was actually scared of the Indian spinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Srikkanth said Gayle felt the pressure whenever Ashwin was about to bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a book thing in Chennai, Srikkanth said that Gayle’s tough attitude changed when he had to deal with Ashwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris Gayle could hit anybody for sixes and fours but Ashwin just needed four balls to dismiss him. When Ashwin had the ball, Gayle’s legs started shaking, said Srikkanth<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ashwin has a great record against Gayle, dismissing him five times in the Indian Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gayle has only scored 53 runs off the 64 balls he’s faced from Ashwin in the Indian Premier League, with a strike rate of 82.8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Srikkanth praised the former India captain, MS Dhoni<\/a>, for noticing Ashwin’s talent and turning him into this bowler that did well in all forms of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dhoni was the one who saw him as a great T20 <\/a>bowler. Ashwin has gone from T20 to ODIs to Test matches amazingly. He’s not just a good bowler but also a great batter,\u201d Srikkanth said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ashwin was bought for a big amount in the IPL 2025 <\/a>auction. Srikkanth said it was good to have him back home with the Chennai Super Kings<\/a> before IPL 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chennai CEO Kasi Viswanathan said, When we first met Ashwin, he was playing for Tamil Nadu in the early 2000s (he played his first big match in 2006). I was helping to run TNCA at the time. We became good friends during the 2009 IPL in South Africa<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ashwin started his Indian Premier League career with Chennai in the first tournament in 2008 and became well-known in the 2010 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
