Ashwin Credits 21-Year-Old Sri Charani for India’s Historic Women’s World Cup Triumph
R Ashwin on Sri Charani: Everyone is praising the Indian women's team for India's World Cup win. Meanwhile, R Ashwin made a significant statement, calling Sri Charani the biggest reason for their title victory and heaping praise on her.
Former Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has lauded the brilliant performance of India's young left-arm spinner Sri Charani in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. The 39-year-old veteran believes that the young player has all the makings of a future superstar. He analyzed the technical brilliance behind her success since making her debut for India in April this year. He also credited the 21-year-old spinner as a reason for India's victory in the World Cup.
Sri Charani thus completed her maiden ODI World Cup campaign with 14 wickets in nine matches at an average of 27.64, starring in some impactful performances in the knockout stages. Charani kept her nerves and struck 2 for 49 in the semi-final, and 1 for 48 in the final, helping India win a historic title.
Ashwin stated on his YouTube channel that Charani performed exceptionally well in the World Cup. She is the biggest reason India won this World Cup. She is going to be a superstar bowler in the future. Her ball spins at the right pace. Her weight transfer is comparable to that of Sophie Ecclestone, Jess Jonassen, or Sophie Molineux. She gets into a beautiful side-on position. From there, her hand comes forward. There is no collapse anywhere. There is no lack of energy.
