Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India’s most-popular off-spinners, seems unhappy with Elon Musk-owned X's, formerly known as Twitter, timeline feature. In a post on X, tagged to Tesla CEO Musk, Aswin wrote, "I can’t tell u what to do @elonmusk but I should certainly have the right to decide who enters my house. My timeline my decision," wrote Ashwin.

If you are wondering why Ashwin had to tag Musk, the reason is the Australia-Afghanistan ICC T20 World Cup match held on June 23.
Afghanistan stunned Australia with 21-run victory in the match. Set a target of 149, Australia were all out for 127 with four balls left in the match.
Ashwin appeared unhappy with a post from Pakistani journalist Wajahat Kazmi on his timeline. "Afghanistan can beat any team in the world except India for obvious reasons. IPL contracts are very precious," wrote Pakistani journalist Kazmi on Ashwin's timeline.
Kazmi's comment seems to have irked Ashwin, making him tag Musk for the request.
When a user pointed out that X does have a Block button, which can be used. "You do have a block button." To this Ashwin replied, "It’s shouldn’t be my duty to block a set of handles every day🙏. I know who I want to follow."
Ashwin's post to Elon Musk has taken X by storm, with over 13K likes in less than two hours
Ashwin, a member of the 50-over World Cup-winning India squad in 2011, has played 100 Tests and picked up over 500 wickets for the country in the longest format. The 37-year-old has earned numerous individual accolades in international cricket, besides shining in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and for his state team Tamil Nadu.
