Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin is known for being a world renowned wicket taker who holds many records for his on field achievements. However, he is also known for his sharp wit and sense of humour. Ashwin has shown off his funnybone on many occasions and it has come to the fore again, recently! Ashwin is currently in New Zealand with the Indian Test Cricket team, which is set to take on the Kiwis in a 2-match test series, after winning the T20I series and losing the ODI series, both comprehensively! Ravi Ashwin put up a photo of himself sliding down a staircase railing, while in Wellington, on his Instagram account!

This photo evoked a lot of fun replies from Ashwin's Instagram followers, one of whom commented with a famous Vadivelu dialogue, asking if Ravi Ashwin was young enough to be sliding down railings! Replying to this follower, Ashwin mentioned in Tanglish that age is nothing when compared to the happiness that is there in the heart and anybody can go sliding down stairs at any age. To this, another follower replied that Ashwin's words were worthy enough to be put up on the backside of autos. Ashwin replied to this comment too, stating that for this to happen, he would have to go back home and first buy an auto.

Ashwin also mentioned that it would also be good to get ideas from actor Vivekh too, for verses to put on the back of autos, as this is also a dialogue from a comedy scene of Vivekh's! This goes to show that apart from enjoying his cricket, Ashwin, as told and proven time and again, is an ardent fan of Cinema too! We wish Ashwin and the Indian Cricket Team all the very best for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand!
