Pic: Chennai spinner Ashwin with bride Preeti

Ravichandran Ashwin, got married to childhood sweetheart Preeti on Saturday in Chennai. Coming off an impressive India test win, where Pragyan Ojha and Ashwin revived talk of a magic spin duo, Ashwin gave selectors little reason to regret choosing him over Harbajan Singh with match figures of 9-128. This is the second-best haul by an Indian debutant after leg-spinner Narendra Hirwani’s 16-136 against the West Indies in 1988.[caption id=“attachment_129748” align=“alignleft” width=“380” caption=“Cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin with his bride Preethi during their reception in Chennai on Saturday.
