New Delhi, Feb 17: Ace India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has revealed the person from whom he learnt the skills to bowl the carrom ball -- a delivery through which he has bamboozled many batsmen across formats.

Ashwin said it was a person named SK who used to bowl the delivery with a proper action and extract drift, that too with a tennis ball when they used to play on the streets of Chennai.
