R Ashwin reacts to Harry Brook’s ‘Smog’ remark
Indian conditions have exposed England batter Harry Brook’s weakness against the spin after he lost his wicket to Indian spinner Varun Chakaravarthy in the first two T20Is. After his dismissal in the first game, Brook had blamed smog in Kolkata, which made it really challenging for him to read the ball.
However, in the second T20I, which was held in Chennai, Harry Brook’s struggle against spin was on full display, losing his wicket again to Varun Chakaravarthy. Reacting to Brook’s smog excuse, former Indian cricketer Ravichandaran Ashwin hit out at Brook by saying that there was no smog in Chennai still he succumbed to a spin delivery.
"There was no smog there in Chennai. Harry Brook had earlier stated that there was smog in Kolkata, so picking Varun Chakravarthy was difficult. I want to say one thing to Harry Brook: 'Please understand that Varun Chakravarthy doesn't bowl leg spin that much. It is googly'," said Ashwin in a video on his YouTube channel.
"You moved to the leg stump and couldn't read the delivery, so you got bowled. Then you covered the stump and took a big stride, but couldn't read the googly, you got bowled again. No matter how the light is, if you are not reading the googly out of his hand, you are just not reading the delivery out of his hand," Ashwin said.
Harry Brook has only managed to score 17 and 13 in the first two T20Is respectively. On the other hand, England are also trailing 0-2 in the five-match series, having lost the first two matches.
