Former Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin ignited widespread curiosity across social media platforms when he shared a cryptic collage on X, featuring Bollywood actress Sunny Leone paired with an image of Chennai’s Sadhu Street. Posted without any caption except two eye emojis on December 8, 2025, the image quickly amassed thousands of views and reactions, leaving fans puzzled over the unusual pairing. This playful upload from the veteran spinner, known for his innovative social media presence, soon unraveled into a clever tribute to an emerging Tamil Nadu talent, blending pop culture with cricket flair.​

The post masterfully employed wordplay, merging “Sunny” from Sunny Leone with “Sandhu”—a Tamil term for narrow street, as depicted in the Sadhu Street photo—to spotlight 22-year-old Sunny Sandhu. Sandhu, a right-handed batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler born on October 15, 2003, grabbed attention in his second Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) match. On December 8 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, he delivered a match-turning 30 runs off 9 balls, including multiple boundaries and sixes, in a vital 37-run partnership with Sai Sudharsan. This explosive finish propelled Tamil Nadu to chase down Saurashtra’s 183 for a thrilling three-wicket victory with eight balls remaining, boosting their Group D standing.​

Ashwin’s endorsement highlighted Sandhu’s potential ahead of IPL 2026 auctions, where the youngster has entered with a Rs 30 lakh base price, drawing parallels to his own history of nurturing domestic stars. Fans decoded the puzzle rapidly, flooding comments with appreciation for the off-spinner’s wit, which amplified visibility for the Punjab-origin cricketer now shining for Tamil Nadu.​

Former India opener Wasim Jaffer amplified the fun by retweeting Ashwin’s post with a quip: “Chhod aaye hum, woh galiyan 😂 And Ash please give me my social media manager back, thanks.” Referencing the iconic Bollywood song from Baarish about leaving behind certain streets, Jaffer’s reply perfectly captured the post’s “street” theme while jokingly implying Ashwin had “borrowed” his creative team. The response exploded online, garnering hundreds of likes and shares within hours, cementing the exchange as peak cricket humor.​

Jaffer’s timely intervention turned the moment into a cross-generational banter fest, with fans lauding the duo’s camaraderie and creativity. This viral interplay underscores how Ashwin’s quirks continue to unite cricket enthusiasts, spotlighting fresh faces like Sandhu amid SMAT excitement.
