Former Chennai Super Kings star Robin Uthappa has said that while Ravichandran Ashwin can be a \u2018fascinating\u2019 coach now that he has retired from all forms of Indian cricket, his life is going to be way more enterprising than being stuck in a coach\u2019s job.<\/p>\n

Ashwin<\/a>, who will turn 39 in another two weeks, had announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League, which has now made him eligible to play in franchise-based T20 leagues across the globe.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s second-highest wicket-taker across formats, with 765 scalps from 287 international matches, will be the most high-profile name to play in a global league outside the Indian Premier League if any team happens to pick him at the auctions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he will make a fascinating coach. But I think his life is going to be way more enterprising than being stuck in a coach\u2019s job. He\u2019ll be a mentor of sorts. That will be a great role for him,” Uthappa said while speaking on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could be a head coach in the IPL. There could be some takers for him,” Uthappa said.<\/p>\n

There is no chance of Ashwin becoming a coach in the Indian Premier League anytime soon as of yet. He expressed his desire to explore T20s around various global leagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I am in talks with the organisers. Hopefully, I will have a buyer if I register for the auction,” Ashwin was quoted as saying by\u00a0Cricbuzz.<\/em><\/p>\n

Should the star Indian spinner find a buyer, he could become the fourth Indian to feature in the ILT20. Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu and Yusuf Pathan have played in the league in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think his legacy (as an IPL player) won\u2019t be as great as an international cricket player because of the options he utilised after a certain point. He used a lot of defensive options in the IPL compared to the offensive options he used in international cricket, especially Tests,” Ashwin said.<\/p>\n
