Prithi’s cricketer husband was recently targeted after he did not name India’s limited-overs skipper MS Dhoni in his thank-you speech after being declared winners of two of the biggest awards from the cricket’s governing body, ICC.

Ashwin had taken to Twitter to thank his wife, family, Virat Kohli, Anil Kumble and members of the support staff after winning ICC Cricketer of the Year and ICC Test Cricketer of the Year; he did not mention about Dhoni’s role in his growth.

Following the criticism, Ashwin had taken to Twitter to state that people must not tag his wife in their funny tweets as she has better things to look after.
Prithi also replied to Ashwin’s tweet saying:
