Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been accused of ball tampering. These allegations were made by the Madurai Panthers team, which is participating in the Tamil Nadu Premier League. The franchise has also lodged a complaint with league CEO Prasanna Kannan regarding the matter.
In the complaint, Madurai Panthers stated, "Ashwin and his team tampered with the ball during the match played on June 14 at the SCF Cricket Ground. Ashwin and his team used towels treated with a special chemical. This altered the condition of the ball. When the ball made contact with the bat, it produced a metallic sound. Even after repeated warnings, Ashwin and his team did not comply."
Dindigul Dragons won that match by 9 wickets. Ashwin did not take any wickets in the match but scored 49 runs.
Most five-wicket hauls by an Indian – Ashwin holds the record with 37 five-wicket hauls in Tests, the highest by any Indian bowler. He is followed by Kumble, who took five wickets in an innings 35 times in Tests. Overall, the record for the most five-wicket hauls in an innings belongs to Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan, who achieved it 67 times. Ashwin is jointly second with Shane Warne.
Most wickets against England – Ashwin has taken the most wickets in his career against England. He has played 53 matches across all formats against them and claimed 150 wickets. Australia is second on the list, against whom Ashwin has taken 146 wickets in 50 matches.
