With the Indian squad for Test series against New Zealand at home being announced, fans are once again active on social media, either to praise or troll the selected players. In fact, most of the fans were on trolling mode and one of them took the dare to troll India’s ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. The Indian spinner, also part of the selected team, is probably best among the current Indian cricketers when it comes to answer the trolls on social media. Ashwin has a knack of answering them with his intelligence and sense of humour.
After the news of Indian squad for the Test series came, one of the fan expressed his disappointment over Ashwin’s selection in the side and indirectly said that he is not a good spinner.

Ashwin came up with an excellent reply to this, which shows his witty nature.

Social media has become a medium for anyone to say whatever they feel but any cricket fan should not get into a war of words with Ashwin because he will surely give it back to that person. Also, for those who do not know much about Ashwin’s achievements in his career, one should remember that he is among the top three spinners across the globe in every format since 2010 — the year in which he made his debut. Since 2010, he has taken 193 wickets in Tests, 142 in ODIs and 52 in T20Is at 25.20, 31.73 and 22.19 in the respective formats of the game, which speaks about his ability as a player. Ashwin did not stop there, as there was another similar instance of him trolling a fan on his official Twitter timeline but this time, it was neither related to cricket nor him. Infact, it was related the Indian Paralympians winning medals at Rio Paralympics 2016. It started with Ashwin’s tweet in which he praised exceptionally talented athletes of the nation after their impressive performance at Rio Paralympics 2016.
So these exceptionally talented men and women continue to inspire the nation.Well done #DeepaMalik #legend — Ashwin Ravichandran (@ashwinravi99) September 13, 2016
Once again, a fan, probably a Pakistani, responded him on that tweet and he probably turned on his Piers Morgan mode while answering to Ashwin’s tweet as it involved criticism.
@ashwinravi99 itni bari nation … olympic may sirf 3 medals….. ha ha ha waht a joke
— amir nazar (@amiry2k2000) September 13, 2016
Ashwin once again came up with an excellent reply and made that person speechless with his wit.
@amiry2k2000 I sincerely wish for our neighbours to be better than us and get 4 medals bare minimum.

This is not the first time Ashwin has took the responsibility of answering these Twitterati and giving a lesson for life to them. He keeps doing such things frequently when he is free.
