‘They Know Exactly How To Make News Viral’ : R Ashwin bursts out on Australian Cricket experts

The anticipation for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between Australia and India has been intense as always. The cricketers from Down Under are employing every trick in the book to increase interest in the series, whether it be Cricket Australia’s choice to sign up a “copy” of Ravichandran Ashwin, some of the comments made by their previous players, or social media activity.

R Ashwin has chosen to share his thoughts on Australia’s pre-series antics as well because he doesn’t mind voicing his mind, especially on touchy subjects.

Ashwin chose to criticise Cricket Australia’s antics in a video posted to his YouTube page, claiming the visitors are adept at making news that goes “viral.”

Ravi Ashwin said – "Cricket Australia and social media team definitely know how to make things viral. They know exactly what to do to make a news viral and they have been really good at this for quite some time now".

“Mahesh Pithiya, who recently made his debut for Baroda, also bowled quite effectively for them. But they did so in a way that the news immediately went viral. They have been quite successful at this for a long time and know exactly how to make a news story go viral “said Ashwin.

Ashwin also addressed Ian Healy’s remark that India will win if they make a “decent wicket,” but Australia will lose if “rank-turners” are made.

“India will triumph if you give them a turning pitch, according to Ian Healy, whereas Australia will triumph if you give them a fair wicket. Because he also anticipates which statement will spark controversy and go viral. We are aware of the template, right? A Thala-Thalapathy film with a family-friendly theme, five songs, five fights, two emotional scenes, a strong finale, and a strong opening scene will be a smash hit. They’ll claim that A-center and B-center will find it popular “Off-spinner said.

Cricket Australia has been posting interesting content on social media as well, particularly the video of India’s 36-all out innings in the Adelaide Test. But Ashwin is fully aware of the motivation behind such posts.

Ashwin added, “Similarly, Cricket Australia’s social media team is aware of the news that would help them get traction.
