Referring to Ravichandran Ashwin, experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik remarked that in the dugout or dressing room, one might question if it was truly Ashwin who secured 500 Test wickets due to his inquisitive nature. Karthik elaborated that Ashwin frequently asks about the condition of the pitch, whether it’s showing signs of turn or not, and his queries often play a psychological role on his teammates.
