'A one-off genius like him comes very rarely': Ramiz Raja praises India bowler
A cursory glance at all the current cricket teams in the world will give you an idea that at the moment, India possesses one of the more superior Test bowling attacks in the world. Along with a healthy stock of fast bowlers that include Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, youngsters Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj, the Indian team also has a rich experience in the spin department. Veteran off-spinner R Ashwin and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, coupled with the left-arm spin of Axar Patel can cause serious trouble to the opposition batting line-up irrespective of the pitch. In fact, Ashwin is one of the best spinners India has ever produced. With 409 wickets in just 78 Tests, at a staggering average of 24.69, the Tamil Nadu spinner became the second-faster bowler in Tests to breach the 400-wicket milestone. He achieved it in 77 Tests, only second to Sri Lanka legend Muttiah Muralitharan, who got there in 72 Tests. Former Pakistan batsman Ramiz Raja recognizes the greatness of Ashwin, as he observed that he is a "one-off genius" and that a bowler like him does not come too often.
