New Zealand leg-spinner Adithya Ashok, born in Vellore, India, is set to face India in an upcoming ODI series. Having moved to New Zealand at age four, Ashok maintains strong ties to his roots and his late grandfather, even sporting a tattoo of a Rajinikanth dialogue in Tamil as a personal tribute. He recently trained at the CSK academy in Chennai, gaining insights into Indian pitch conditions which he hopes will be advantageous against India's top batsmen.
