Ravichandran Ashwin picks his successor post-retirement, announces it on social media; who is he?

Live Mint  

With the sudden and unexpected retirement announcement by India's decorated off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin following a draw against Australia in the third Test at Brisbane, a void was created in the Indian cricket team, and one question on everyone's mind was who would replace the spin wizard. Soon after Ashwin's retirement announcement, India's off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar penned a heartfelt tribute on his social media account. Replying to Sundar's post, Ashwin wrote on Friday, "‘Thuppakiya pudinga washi!' was quoted by Ashwin from a famous dialogue from Tamil superstar Vijay's recent film, ‘Greatest of All Time ’.
