Ravichandran Ashwin, however, was quick to respond to the trolls, and he clarified his statement on criticising the star England all-rounder Ben Stokes.
Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin had questioned Ben Stokes' credentials as a batter. He said that the England skipper is a fabulous player, but barring his Headingley heroics, he hasn't played any significant knocks with the bat.
"The readiness to play a Test match in the way a Test match needs to be played—that is the problem from the leadership standpoint. You are telling every batter to go and play an attacking brand of cricket, so you need to play like that only," he said.

Soon after Ben Stokes hit a century against India, fans on social media were quick to remind Ravichandran Ashwin of his criticism of the English all-rounder.
"Arrey sir ji, no one doubted his class! He got his first fifer after 2017 this game a hundred after 2 years! This has come because of his traditional test match approach to batting and not the carefree one he had adopted before this." Ashwin wrote in reply to a fan's criticism.

Notably, Stokes' all-round heroics against the India National Cricket Team at Old Trafford have helped him become the first England captain to make a century and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test. Also, he joined Garfield Sobers and Jacques Kallis as the only three players in Test cricket history with a double of 7000 runs and 200 wickets.
