On 13 March 2023, all eyes were on team India as if they can manage a win on day five of the Ahmedabad Test against Australia. The Aussies came out to bat with a trail of 88 runs with all 10 wickets in hand. However, Ravichandran Ashwin took the first wicket on the day by taking the wicket of Matthew Kuhnemann.
Then, Axar Patel took the second wicket while other bowlers failed miserably. So, the match ended as a draw. Both captains, Steve Smith, and Rohit Sharma shook hands mutually and they brought curtains on the match after Australia scored 175 runs for two wickets in 78.1 overs. But, during the match, an interesting thing happened when Cheteshwar Pujara came up to bowl the 78th over.
Here is the shared tweet:

Ravichandran Ashwin scored 86 runs and took 25 wickets in the series
He bowled just one over and conceded just one run. But, it was quite funny for players and fans to see the star batter bowling. Regarding that, Ravichandran Ashwin shared a tweet that reads: ‘Main kya karu? Job chod du?’ along with an image of Pujara getting ready to bowl that over. Speaking of Ashwin, he won the player of the series award along with Ravindra Jadeja. He scored 86 runs with the bat while taking 25 wickets throughout the series.
After winning the award in the post-match presentation ceremony, Ravichandran Ashwin said: “It has been a great journey. We (himself and Jadeja) started a long time ago but we wouldn't be the same or lethal enough without the other. We need to recognize that, at least I have started recognizing that over the last 2-3 years.” He further added: “He gives me a lot of freedom to be creative with the ball, credit to him, I thought he bowled beautifully in the Delhi Test as well and that's why we are here today. Jaddu keeps it really simple, he does not fret around or bother about what has happened.”
Here is how fans have reacted to the viral tweet from Ravichandran Ashwin over Cheteshwar Pujara's bowling:
