Ashwin saved from becoming a victim of online fraud
Actually, this matter started when Ashwin received a message on WhatsApp from an unknown number. The person sending the message, posing as Australian cricketer Adam Zampa, asked Ashwin for the personal phone numbers of Indian players. This person tried to ask for the numbers of players like Abhishek Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Sanju Samson, Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dubey. He wrote, ‘Brother, please share the numbers of these players, I need it.’ But Ashwin immediately got wind of this fraud.
After catching this fraud, Ashwin chose to respond in a funny manner instead of taking it seriously. He replied to the thug, ‘I am sending the list of numbers soon.’ Then he asked the opposite question, ‘Do you have MS Dhoni’s number?’ On this, the fake person immediately shared a number with MS Dhoni’s name written on it. Instead of taking this conversation further, Ashwin shared it through a video on social media, in which he narrated the entire story of this fraud with the fans. This is not the first time that Ashwin has attracted people’s attention with his wisdom. Ashwin, who used to deceive the batsmen with his spin on the cricket field, this time defeated the thugs even outside the field.
Will be seen on the field soon
Ravichandran Ashwin will soon be seen playing in Australia’s Big Bash League. He will be a part of this league for the first time. Big Bash League team Sydney Thunder has signed him. Ashwin will play three to five matches in January and if Sydney Thunder qualifies, he will also play the final.
