Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023: Australia gets ‘Ashwin duplicate’ to train ahead of Test series against India

The Hindu  

Australia have roped in Maheesh Pithiya, a 21-year-old spinner with uncanny resemblance to Ravichandran Ashwin, to train on spin-friendly tracks as part of their preparation for the upcoming Test series against India. Off-spinner Ashwin may prove to be a major threat for Australia, who haven’t won a Test series in India since 2004. “With facing spin the major focus on Thursday, Pithiya was the standout among the local ‘netties’, bowling tirelessly and virtually without break through the day as he troubled the likes of Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, who all had long batting sessions.” Pithiya, interestingly, didn’t see Ashwin bowl until the age of 11. “While no spinner in the world can perfectly mimic the challenge Ashwin will pose in this series, facing Pithiya over the coming days will at least help the Australians come to terms with the visual cues of the world’s top-ranked Test spin bowler,” the report said.
