Ravichandran Ashwin has finally spoken out after Harbhajan Singh's comments on India getting favourable pitches and he has this to say.

As far as Ashwin is concerned, Harbhajan is his inspiration and it was Bhajji's 2001 performance against Australia in 2001 that pushed him into taking up spin bowling.

@harbhajan_singh has been an inspiration nd I started bowling off spin only after seeing the 2001 series.This banter going on is unhealthy

Harbhajan had earlier said that Ashwin's show against New Zealand was no big deal as India got wickets that turned a lot unlike back when he played along with Anil Kumble.

Virat Kohli had retorted that even on turning tracks one had to bowl well to get success.

Ashwin took to Twitter to say that pitting players against each other was not a good idea.

He deemed it extremely unhealthy.

Kudos to Ashwin for coming out to maintain the peace. Harbhajan responded in kind by saying that his words were taken out of context and he had nothing against Ashwin.

Dear got nothing against you. For some reasons my words are misconstrued. Wish you nothing but the best ?? Keep the flag high! God bless ? https://t.co/flIqJYDT4y
