Just ahead of the highly anticipated World Cup 2023 that is slated to take place in India, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has started a talk show called  'Kutti Stories' with renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle.

They will also talk about the development of various editions of the Cricket World Cup.  Harsha Bhogle posted the link to the first part of the series in order to describe the entire idea of the show.

"I often use the word (kutti) in casual conversation myself. It means small. And so I was quite amused that @ashwinravi99 used it as the title of his charming cricket show. When he asked if I could be part of his kutti stories, I was quite excited. Here is part 1 of a cultural and cricketing look back at the World Cups. 1975 & 1979. We recorded it and the next thing I know is that he is back on the field and I am back in the commentary box!" he wrote.

In reply to the post, one of the social media users referred to it in the wrong manner and commented, "Kutt! is BXXXX in Hindi. Bhogle responded to that user with a solid reply and wrote, “Aap hi ke liye maine Hindi mein woh shabd likha tha.”

Currently, Ashwin is taking part in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia and a lot of questions were raised after the Tamil Nadu-based spinner found a place in the Indian side. Since Axar Patel was injured during the Asia Cup 2023, the management decided to pick Ashwin. Indian head coach Rahul Dravid made it clear that this series will not serve as a test for Ashwin.

"Someone like Ravichandran Ashwin provides experience and also contributes with the bat at No. 8. This series is no trial for Ashwin, this is just an opportunity for him in this format," Dravid told reporters.
