The spinner posted a picture with acclaimed author Jeffrey Archer. He wrote, “Fan boy moment with the great Jeffrey Archer, his pen has always been mightier than the sword”.

Virat Kohli and Co lost the opening Test of the five-match series to England by 31 runs. They next take on the hosts in the second five-day game at the Lord’s stadium in London.
It looks like Archer is quite popular among the Tamil Nadu cricketers. Apart from Ashwin, opening batsman Murli Vijay also posted a picture on Instagram with the author and a signed copy of the book.
The team’s fielding coach R Sridhar too posted about meeting the author, and even got a copy of Archer’s book Heads You Win signed by him.
