Beautiful as all your earlier write ups on Ashwin. What I loved about him was he was one of the few top players who actually tried to share their ' process '. This was something everyone talked about but few actually explained. Maybe some couldn't explain it themselves. He was by his own admission not the greatest athlete especially compared to jadeja. This no doubt forced him to go into the minutiae. He remains the only cricketer I actually follow on social media. Yes, we can still watch him in ipl but to watch him in a test match was something else.
As India's greatest match winner, the comparison is to Indian players who came before him.
How can any player be compared to players who might come in the future?
From your comment above:
"I re-read the article again, but it doesn't explicitly say that Ashwin is being compared to players who came 'before' him."
Hence my question.
Awesome! A great tribute to his genius! Would love to hear you guys discuss about him on @81allout

What is the difference between an off-spinners slider and the undercutter?
It has a different wrist position. This explanation is quite good.
