After Ashwin’s tweet, Netflix India’s official Twitter handle came up with a funny reply that left the off-spinner into fits of laughter. They tweeted: “Ashwin’s fantastic suggestion has won him today’s Man of the Watch award”.

Ashwin responded with an amusing tweet, saying: “look forward to the presentation ceremony”.

Ashwin is currently gearing up for India’s first-ever day-night Test which is scheduled to be played in Kolkata, starting November 22. After registering a comprehensive win over Bangladesh in the first Test in Indore, the 33-year-old stayed back in Indore and was seen practicing with the pink ball.

Ashwin managed to scalp five wickets in the first Test as the hosts completely outplayed the Bangladesh team by an innings and 130 runs inside three days at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. After the win, Ashwin was full of praise for India’s pace attack that rattled Bangladesh’s batting lineup in the Test series opener.

After the match Ashwin said, “I think Shami, Ishant, and Umesh have been bowling well as a pack and if you add Bumrah to it over the last few months or a year in Test cricket, I think it’s one of the most lethal pace attacks going around in the world if not the best.”
