Former Team India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was in awe of Rashid&#8217;s marvellous delivery that dismissed Tilak Varma in the match.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">During the eighth over of India&#8217;s chase, Rashid bowled a leg-break outside the off-stump that turned sharply, breaching the gap between bat and pad to hit the stumps. Varma, who attempted a backfoot shot, failed to read the turn and was bowled for 18 off 14 balls, leaving India struggling at 68\/4.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Top Bowling, Adil Rashid &#8211; Ravichandran Ashwin<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Ravichandran Ashwin was highly impressed by Rashid\u2019s exceptional delivery to dismiss Tilak Varma. He took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to praise Rashid, calling it an &#8220;absolute seed&#8221; with &#8220;scrambled seam and serious side spin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Absolute seed.

He had remained not out during the second half of India&#8217;s T20I series against South Africa, where he scored back-to-back centuries.<\/p>\n<p>The left-handed batter also played a key role in the series opener against England at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, remaining unbeaten to help India chase down the target. In the second T20I, he guided India to a narrow win in Chennai, remaining not out to secure a two-wicket victory.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Adil Rashid Makes Strong Comeback After Poor Outing in Kolkata<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Adil Rashid made a strong comeback after conceding 27 runs in two overs during the first T20I in Kolkata. He bounced back with an economical spell of 1\/14 in four overs during the second match against India. However, the hosts secured a narrow two-wicket win with Tilak Varma\u2019s finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p>Rashid played a key role in England&#8217;s resurgence during the third T20I in Rajkot. Defending a target of 172, England dismissed Sanju Samson (3), Abhishek Sharma (24), and Suryakumar Yadav (14) inside the powerplay. India\u2019s innings collapsed further as England\u2019s bowlers maintained pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The home team fell short by 26 runs in the run chase. England secured a convincing victory that kept them alive in the series. The fourth match between the two teams will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on January 31.<\/p>\n<h2>Adil Rashid Is Like Red Wine &#8211; Ravi Shastri<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Speaking to TNT Sports, former India player and coach Ravi Shastri praised England&#8217;s bowling performance. He also commended Rashid, comparing him to fine wine that improves with time. However, Shastri noted that England&#8217;s batting has yet to reach its full potential.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">&#8220;Full marks to England for the way they bowled. They attacked the stumps and went for yorkers, while Adil Rashid is like red wine, he gets better and better,&#8221; Shastri told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;England have still not played to their potential with the bat. If they do, we could have a crackerjack couple of games,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/cricketaddictor.com\/cricket-news\/time-is-running-out-amid-poor-form-suryakumar-yadav-warned-of-losing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Time is running out&#8221; &#8211; Amid poor form, Suryakumar Yadav warned of losing&#8230;.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cricketaddictor.com\/cricket-news\/ravichandran-ashwin-mocks-tilak-varma-after-the-latter-gets-bamboozled-by-adil-rashids-worldie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran wrist-spinner Adil Rashid played a crucial role in England&#8217;s victory during the third T20I against India on January 28 at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.
