In a super rare sight, Ravichandran Ashwin got the nets up and commenced his batting practice at one of the pitches after the 1st ODI got over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Always trust Ravichandran Ashwin<\/a> to spring something out of the ordinary. Shortly after the 1st ODI ended with India picking up a five-wicket-win over Australia<\/a> in Mohali to take a 1-0 lead in the series, Ashwin made heads turn when put strapped up those batting pads, put on his helmet and scampered out to bat in the middle of the ground in a late-night practice session. In a highly unusual sight, Ashwin got the nets out and began batting at one of the pitches even as head coach Rahul Dravid<\/a> turned fielder and took his position at square leg. Ashwin’s post-match stunner left Mark Waugh and Abhishek Nayar<\/a>, part of the broadcasting panel, absolutely flabbergasted. Both the former cricketers hailed the off-spinner’s ever-so-determined attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
