Speaking of Ashwin’s performance in the tournament, he scalped three wickets conceding 22 runs in his quota of four overs during the same match against Zimbabwe to which the viral video belongs.

Indian team is now set to lock horns with Jos Buttler’s England in the second semi-final of the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup. The men in blue have made it to the semi-finals of the tournament alongside their arch-rivals Pakistan who were earlier on the brink of an early exit from this edition of the 20-20 World Cup.

In a major update for the Indian team, skipper Rohit Sharma has reportedly sustained an injury ahead of the most-important clash against England to confirm their slots in the title clash of the 20-20 World Cup 2022.
