Cricket fans often take to social media to share posts that show their appreciation for the game or different cricketers. A Twitter user did just that and shared an incredible portrait of Ravichandran Ashwin that almost looks like a photograph rather than a painting.
“This has been a challenging painting but I’m pleased to finish it today, when @ashwinravi99 has already taken two superb wickets. I don’t suppose it’s realistic to expect him to see it, but it would be lovely if he does at some stage, so any retweets are very gratefully received,” the artist posted while sharing the picture.
