The coveted global cricket extravaganza T20 World Cup 2024 is just around the corner and hence all the fans and cricket fraternity alike are eagerly waiting for explosive cricket action on the field. Hence, it is no surprise that Indian cricket stars are equally eager to support Team India both on and off the field. In the same vein, ace off-spin wizard Ravichandran Ashwin showed his excitement but with a twist.
The star Indian bowler who had been part of the squad in the previous edition of the T20 World Cup, was not picked to represent the nation this time. However, this did not stop him from cheering and supporting Team India away from the field. But like always fans always get some twists from Ashwin who never fails to bamboozle batters along with his fans. This time Ashwin took to his social media and posted a video where he was seen playing a fun quiz game with his daughters, Aadhya and Akhira.
Notably, in the video, Ravichandran Ashwin asked his cute daughters a plethora of questions ranging from who are the hosts of the World Cup this time to naming the head coach of the Indian team. Moreover, he did not miss out on asking about the prolific batter Shimron Hetmyer. Besides, how he could have missed out on asking about the mother of all rivalry aka India and Pakistan’s World Cup venue? Interestingly, Ashwin’s daughters successfully answered all the questions correctly except for the venue of the most-awaited cricket game of the T20 World Cup 2024.
“We are excited for the #t20worldcup How about you?” Ashwin captioned the post on his Instagram handle.
