‘It’s coming home’ - Ravi Ashwin reveals the team he is rooting to win EURO 2020

England football fans are elated as the Three Lions are just one step away from winning a major title trophy for the first time since 1966. Under Harry Kane’s leadership, England defeated Denmark in a thrilling semifinal clash by 2-1 and advanced to the finals of Euro 2020. The Brits will now meet Italy in the summit clash which takes place on Monday (July 13).

Notably, veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was also closely following the England vs Denmark semi-final clash on Wednesday (July 7). After coming across his updates on social media, England women’s team cricketer Alex Hartley asked him which team he’s rooting for. In reply, Ashwin posted the famous slogan of England football fans, making crystal clear that he wants the Three Lions to go all the way.

It all started when Ashwin made a post during the game. “Game on now! Hope #den can keep up with #eng now,” tweeted the 34-year-old. This post suggested that the off spinner wants Denmark to emerge victoriously. Seeing this, Hartley asked in the comment section: “Who are you supporting?”

Ashwin cheering for England

Laying assumptions to the rest, Ashwin then tweeted: “Hahahah.. It’s coming (home emoticon).” For the unversed, ‘It’s coming home’ is an anthem that England fans have been using to cheer the Brits in football competitions. Unfortunately, they have only faced embarrassment since England’s triumph in the 1966 World Cup. The Three Lions tend to enter tournaments as favourites but rising up to expectations has been a problem for them.

Hahahah.. It’s coming 🏡 🤩🤩

However, they have performed brilliantly in Euro 2020 so far and are just a step away from clinching the elusive title. Hartley and Ashwin would be definitely cheering them on July 12 and Harry Kane’s men would not want to disappoint them.

Meanwhile, Ashwin also happens to be in England currently for India’s upcoming five-match series against the home team, starting from August 4. The off-spinner did well in the ICC World Test Championship final against New Zealand, although India got defeated, and would like to put up a similar or even greater show. On the other hand, Hartley hasn’t played for England since March 2019 and she would want to make a comeback soon.
