India has seen multiple legends playing for the national squad. Ranging from Kapil Dev to Virat Kohli, we’ve seen all sorts of maestros in the team. All all-time playing XI lists would be incomplete without the addition of arguably one of the best spinners in international cricket: Ravichandran Ashwin. The tall spinner from Tamil Nadu is a force to reckon with, having multiple wickets to his name across all formats. Here’s some read-worthy information about his better half, Prithi Narayan.

How did Ravichandran Ashwin meet Prithi Narayanan?Β
Prithi Narayan is a businesswoman and a Btech pass out from SRM university, specialising in information technology. She and Ravi were schoolmates, and it was in the school that their love story began. Both chose to go to the same college as well and remained together throughout. Both their families were aware of the relationship and were perfectly happy with it.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s cricketing career began in 2010, and ever since then, Prithi Narayan has been an extremely supportive wife. Ashwin has, on numerous occasions, mentioned her as the main propagator behind him pursuing his dream of playing international cricket for the country. She has often been seen in the stands with MS Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni, and Yuvraj Singh’s wife Hazel, cheering for the Indian side.

The marriage’s guest list didn’t include any well-known personality or a celebrity cricketer. The couple had their older daughter Akhira in 2015, and their second daughter Aadhya was born the following year on 21st December 2016.

Ravichandran Ashwin had a good IPL season this year. He was playing in pink for Rajasthan Royals and was paired up with Yuzvendra Chahal. The spin duo didn’t fail to wreak havoc on all opposition side’s batting lineup, with Yuzvendra Chahal actually finishing up with the Purple Cap.
