The build-up to the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia has been as engaging as ever. Be it Cricket Australia’s decision to include ‘duplicate’ Ravichandran Ashwin, some comments from their former players or social media activity, the men Down Under are trying every trick in the hat to get more engagements in the series.

In a video on his YouTube channel, Ashwin decided to call out Cricket Australia’s antics, suggesting that tourists know how to make news go ‘viral’, he said –

“This Mahesh Pithiya has made his debut for Baroda and bowled really well for them as well. But he presented the news in such a way that it went viral instantly. He knows what to do to make news viral And they’ve been really good for a while.”

R Ashwin, who does not shy away from speaking his mind even on sensitive topics, has also decided to give his opinion on the antics before the Australia series. He also touched on Ian Healy’s comment which suggested Australia would win if India produced a ‘proper wicket’, but would lose if there were ‘rank-turners’.

At the same time, Ian Healy has said – ‘If you give fair wickets, Australia will win; If you give a turning wicket, India will win.” Because he also knows which statement will go viral and controversial. We know the blueprint, don’t we? A family-watcher theme, 5 songs, 5 fights, 2 emotional scenes, 1 good climax, a good opening scene for Thala-Thalapathy film will become superhit. They will say it will hit in A-centre and B-centre,” asserted the off-spinner.

Ashwin is well aware of such posts –

On social media too, Cricket Australia has been sharing some fascinating stuff, most notably the video of India’s 36-all-out innings in the Adelaide Test. However, Ashwin is well aware of the intention behind such posts.

Ashwin concluded, “Similarly, Cricket Australia’s social media team knows what news will attract them.”
