# Jhathavedh credits Ashwin apprenticeship for TNPL success 2026-08-12T18:14:23+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Leg-spinner Jhathavedh Subramanyan, playing for Vida Kovai Kings in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, has transformed his bowling under R Ashwin's guidance since August 2025. The 26-year-old now bowls 20 to 25 overs in a session, focusing on volume to experiment with his action. He has changed his load-up by gathering the ball closer to his body, which lets him rip the leg-break more without reducing his googly's turn. Jhathavedh cited his dismissal of N.S. Chaturved, TNPL's fastest centurion, as proof of his progress: a leg-break that turned nearly five degrees, luring the batter out for a stumping. Born in Hong Kong and representing them earlier, he called working with Ashwin a dream. The TNPL match was held in Natham. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Jhathavedh Subramanyan, leg-spin bowling, R Ashwin, Tamil Nadu cricket, TNPL, VIDA Kovai Kings Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jhathavedh-credits-ashwin-apprenticeship-for-tnpl-success/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
