Sunny Leone + Sadhu Street was Ashwin’s playful way of referring to Sunny Sandhu, the rising all-rounder from Tamil Nadu who had just made a match-winning appearance in the ongoing tournament. Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy 2025-26.
Sandhu smashed 30 off just 9 balls, partnering Sai Sudharsan to seal a dramatic chase that kept the Tamil Nadu campaign alive. Ashwin, known for championing national artists, was essentially giving the youngster a witty, pop culture-infused shout-out.

Ashwin’s fun way to celebrate national talent
Although the message initially confused fans, it ultimately served as a creative homage to Sunny Sandhu’s explosive cameo, which positioned the youngster as one of the emerging finishers on the Indian domestic circuit. For Ashwin, whose advocacy for Tamil Nadu cricket is well known, the meme was both humorous and heartfelt.
And for fans, it was another reminder that when Ashwin posts without a caption, it’s time to start decoding.
