BGT 2024-25: Ashwin Says Over The Years He Found Ways To Break Smith's 'sound Game Plans'

Rising Pune Supergiants: Veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has declared he has found ways to break down Steve Smith's "sound game plans" against the spinner in their many battles over the years. He said the net sessions during their time in IPL also gave him an insight as to how to prepare against the Australian batter.

The two veterans are all set to reignite their rivalry in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series, starting from November 22 in Perth. The pair have been rivals in the Test arena since 2013, with a struggling Smith notably dismissed twice by Ashwin early in the 2020-21 series. When Australia toured India in 2023, Smith fell twice to Ashwin and three times to Ravindra Jadeja.

"Steve Smith is someone that’s fascinating as a player against spin, especially. He has his own unique technique, even playing fast bowling. But with spin, I think he came in with sound game plans, sound preparations and yeah, he used to execute it come what may. And over the years I’ve found ways and means to be able to break it down," Ashwin said in an interview for 7Cricket.
