'How many fifers Joel Garner has?' Chappell responds to Manjrekar, explains why Ashwin is among the best at the moment

Hindustan Times  

Recently, former Team India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar opined that he has a problem with senior India off-spinner R Ashwin being termed as an all-time great because of his record in SENA countries- South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. File Photo of R Ashwin and Ian Chappell Moreover, he also observed that Ashwin's counterpart, Ravindra Jadeja has matched him shoulder to shoulder in India. Cricketer-turned-commentator Manjrekar further commented that in India's 3-1 Test series win against England at home earlier in 2021, Axar Patel bagged 27 wickets in three matches, while Ashwin pocketed 32 wickets in four games. In the same panel was present Australian great Ian Chappell, who countered and disagreed with 55-year-old Manjrekar by citing West Indies legend Joel Garner's example. And the other point I would make is because of Ashwin's reputation I think the England players probably concentrated more on keeping Ashwin out and with Axar Patel, well, let's be blunt about it, they didn't have a bloody clue," Chappell added.
