Watch: Ravichandran Ashwin plays chess with Yashasvi Jaiswal, chess federation of India reacts

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is very well known for his tactical thinking in the game of cricket. He is one of very few who can read the game so well and time and again he uses to introduce everyone to new rules of cricket which may be termed controversial by some cricketing pundits but Ashwin has always said that "if rules are written on the book, they have to be followed on the ground".

In a recent Instagram post made by Rajasthan Royals, Ravichandran Ashwin was seen schooling youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal in a game of chess.
