Ravichandran Ashwin, recognized as one of India's premier spinners, has made a significant impact on the cricket field during his career. He is now making a similar impression in the digital realm. The former cricketer has recently introduced his Hindi YouTube channel, ‘Ash ki Baat,’ where he shares profound insights into Indian cricket, including strategies relevant to IPL franchises.

In a recent episode, Ashwin focused on the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, analyzing their respective strengths and weaknesses. However, it was a playful comment from Ashwin that garnered considerable attention and went viral on social media.

During the discussion, journalist Vimal Kumar mentioned Sachin Tendulkar's role as a mentor for the Mumbai Indians. At that moment, Ashwin interjected with a smile, saying, "On one side, we have Sachin Tendulkar, and on the other, Shubman Gill, the captain of GT. Alright, continue the conversation."

This seemingly offhand remark quickly captured the interest of fans, who were eager to connect it to ongoing speculation circulating on the internet. For years, social media has been rife with rumours linking Gill to Sachin’s daughter, Sara Tendulkar, resulting in a surge of memes featuring the trio.

Although Ashwin did not provide further details, his timing and expression suggested a purposeful acknowledgement of the viral speculation.

Ashwin Rejoins CSK  

The off-spinner commenced his IPL journey with the Super Kings and made his return to the team prior to the 2025 season. Having stepped away from international cricket, Ashwin was among the first players to arrive at the CSK camp in preparation for the upcoming season.

CSK is set to launch their 2025 campaign against their long-standing rivals, the Mumbai Indians. Under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the team is striving for a better outcome than last season, where they narrowly fell short of securing a playoff position, finishing fifth with a record of seven wins and seven losses.
