Ashwin's cricket institute ties up with Gaudium Sportopia

Hyderabad : Indias first residential, fully integrated, world class high-performance sports school Gaudium Sportopia launched its own cricket academy on Wednesday in collaboration with Gen-Next Cricket Institute that is mentored by Ravichandran Ashwin.

With the ace spinner present on the day of the launch, it was a dream come true for the students at the academy to play with one of the finest cricketers in the world. Ashwin bowled in an exhibition match with the kids that gave them an early taste of playing against the world's best.

"We have already activated five academies so far including the badminton academy. All of these have received a huge response after such great champions have come on board to guide the young sporting minds. I am equally confident that this latest collaboration with Ravichandran Ashwin and Gen-Next Cricket Institute will create a new roadmap for producing champions for the future," said Kirthi Reddy, Director & Founder of The Gaudium School and Gaudium Sportopia.

Being possibly the only active cricketer to have an academy, Ashwin's acumen to understand the game has been praiseworthy, something that is reflected in his plethora of records.
