Finch reveals who is tougher to play between Ashwin and Jadeja

Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have been one of the consistent performers for India especially in the longer format of the game. The duo created havoc against some top Test teams at home in the recent past and it has been always tough to play against them in turning tracks.

Meanwhile, Australia ODI captain Aaron Finch was asked to choose who is tougher to play between them when he posted a Q&A session on his Twitter handle. The fan asked – “Facing Ashwin or Jadeja, which is more difficult???”

And, the Aussie captain gave a diplomatic answer as he said both have difficult challenges and gave equal respect to the Indian spinners.

“Both have difficult challenges. Ashwin can spin it big with a lot of variation. Jadeja always challenges the stumps and your defence,” Finch replied.

Apart from this question, Finch was also asked various interesting questions including the toughest bowler he faced. The opener picked Pakistan’s Saeed Ajmal and legendary Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan as the toughest bowlers he faced.

The 33-year old had a tough time this week as he suffered a blow to his head during Victoria’s Marsh Sheffield Shield clash with New South Wales at the MCG on Saturday. Finch suffered delayed concussion and thus had to be substituted out with Travis Dean coming in as his replacement for the remainder of the match.

He was fielding at short-leg and was struck on his helmet when Steve O’Keefe played a flick off James Pattinson during the first session on Day 2 of the match.

However, he stayed in the field after being assessed immediately before  Cricket Victoria said he experienced delayed concussion symptoms during the lunch break on day 2.
