R Ashwin: Cricket analysts and fans were shocked by Ravichandran Ashwin’s sudden exit from the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia and his retirement declaration. Many were puzzled about the reason the spin wizard abruptly made this choice. Currently, Ashwin has responded to his retirement.
In a recent interview with a sports channel, he stated, “I don’t cling to anything too tightly. I have never experienced insecurity in my life. Today belongs to me. I also doubt that tomorrow will belong to me. This perspective has been the cause of my development throughout all these years.”
“I can truthfully respond with a no to many things. I always doubt that individuals honor me. I also have little faith in the attention I occasionally receive in the country. Regardless, the game holds more significance than I do. I have considered retirement on numerous occasions. If I get up one morning and sense that my creativity has no future, I will leave the game on that same day. Out of the blue, for an unknown reason, I felt that way. That’s the reason I resigned”, Ashwin said.
“I devoted everything to the game. Throughout the years, I have engaged in a lot of cricket with various skills and talents. It is quite unique to share it with others. We can achieve this only by examining ourselves. I accomplished it successfully. It provided me with extensive knowledge to discuss the game. I can investigate it for the rest of my life. I can communicate openly. I have no regrets about quitting the game. Since it was entirely my choice. I feel grateful that cricket has provided me with so much,” he stated.
Bond between Ashwin and Dhoni
Ravichandran Ashwin has once again proven that his bond with MS Dhoni is special. Recently, he said that Dhoni is a completely different person than other captains. Responding to a question about Dhoni, he said, “He (MS Dhoni) does the basics very well. But, many captains ignore them. Due to this, the match becomes complicated for them. He gives the ball to the bowler and says only one thing, Field as needed, bowl accordingly. Sometimes even if the batters hit our loose deliveries.. he doesn’t stop us from bowling.”
