In an interview with Hindustan Times, Panesar heaped praise on Ashwin for his ability to adapt and bowl different deliveries. Calling the Indian spinner an ‘app’ who keeps updating every six months, the ex-England star said that he was ‘student’ when it comes to his bowling.
“He’s like an app, he keeps updating every six months! That’s what he has done through his career. I always find that I am a student when it comes to Ashwin’s bowling. I feel I am continually learning something new about his bowling. That’s the asset Ashwin is. He is a brilliant bowler,” Panesar said.
