Ravichandran Ashwin writes to Elon Musk over security concerns of his Twitter account

India’s star all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin played a vital role in India’s win against Australia in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He was awarded the joint Player of the Series for his excellent performances with the ball.

However, Ashwin is not only active on the field, but he also has a strong social media presence. He runs his own YouTube channel and is also very active on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Ashwin has frequently entertained his fans via his Twitter account, but he is currently experiencing a ‘security concern’ with the microblogging app. On Wednesday, Ashwin took to Twitter to inform Elon Musk, the portal’s owner, about the steps he was taking to secure his profile.

“Ok !! how do I get my Twitter account secure before the 19th of March now, I keep getting pop-ups but none of the links lead out to any clarity. @elonmusk happy to do the needful. Point us in the right direction pls,” Ashwin tweeted.

Certain security changes have occurred since Elon Musk decided to roll out ‘Twitter Blue’ in India. The 2-factor authentication is now only available to those who have subscribed to Twitter Blue.

It has been a great journey: Ravichandran Ashwin

On the cricketing front, Ashwin was at his best in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, finishing the four-match series with 25 wickets. Thanks to his excellent performance, India was able to retain the prestigious trophy. This was India’s fourth consecutive Test series win against the mighty Australian side.

After the Ahmedabad Test, Ashwin had this to say about his partnership with Jadeja: “It has been a great journey. We (himself and Jadeja) started a long time ago but we wouldn’t be the same or lethal enough without the other. We need to recognise that, at least I have started recognising that over the last 2-3 years. He gives me a lot of freedom to be creative with the ball, credit to him, I thought he bowled beautifully in the Delhi Test as well and that’s why we are here today.”
