Know the hidden meaning of the Sunny Leone post shared by R Ashwin ahead of IPL 2026 auction

"Looks like someone is playing with his account..." netizens are wondering why Ravichandran Ashwin shared a photo of Sunny Leone in one of his social media posts. The photo of Sunny Leone is with a photo of a Tamil Nadu street. Why did Ahswin share the photo? What is the hidden meaning behind it?

It is worth mentioning that Ravichandran Ashwin, a former Indian cricketer, consciously shared the photo with an emoji as the caption. Actually, a young Tamil Nadu all-rounder, Sunny Sindhu, just played an explosive knock in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT 2025). During the Tamil Nadu vs Saurashtra SMAT 2025 match, the 22-year-old played a 30-run innings against only 9 deliveries. That explosive innings was laced with three boundaries and a couple of over-boundaries, which took his strike rate to 333.33 – some unbelievable numbers to show individual batting brilliance.

It was only the second SMAT 2025 match. In the previous game of the tournament, the lower-middle-order batter scored only 11 runs, and in the next match, a flurry of fours and sixes.

Why did Ravichandran Ashwin share Sunny Leone's photo? 

Sunny came under the spotlight for his promising performance in the 2025 edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) for Salem Spartans. More than the bowling skills, it was his batting talent which caught cricket fans' attentions. During the Salem vs Trichy match, Sindhu played 45 runs, playing 27 deliveries powered by one boundary and 4 over-boundaries. He claimed a couple of wickets as well in the match. Another two notable knocks from the emerging cricketer were against Chepauk and Dindigul when he smashed 30 and 25 runs, respectively.

Now, let's decode the photo Ravichandran Ashwin shared on 'X'. It is believed that Sunny Leone's photo was paired with a Tamil Nadu street labelled "Sandhu Veedu" (Sandhu's house/alley). It likely hints at Sunny Sandhu, a 22-year-old Tamil Nadu cricketer (right-arm pacer/all-rounder) who's impressed in TNPL and U23 games. Ashwin's "👀" emoji in the caption suggests "watch this talent".
