When asked about the arduous journey of international cricket and the ups and downs during this time after the finish of the first day’s play, Ashwin said, ‘There is no cricketer or human being in this world who has been through such ups and downs. Have not passed When you face failure, you have two options, either get depressed, talk about it and then complain and get frustrated, or learn from it. That’s why I am such a person who constantly keeps learning from these things“.
Ashwin said, ‘Rather today (on my good performance), the best thing I will do on my good day is that I will eat good food, talk good things, talk to my family, go to bed and forget about all this. When you have a good day, you know you had a good day, but there are things you can work on and improve on tomorrow. The constant pursuit of excellence is what has kept me in good stead, but it has also been exhausting.’
Ashwin said, ‘This journey has not been that easy either. This journey has been very tiring for me, but I am very thankful for all those failures because without them success is not possible. He was not kept in the playing 11 in the recent World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia. Due to which he was very disappointed. He said, “I have talked about it. It is very difficult for any cricketer when you have a chance to play in the WTC final but have to sit out in the end, but if I am sitting in the dressing room in despair then what is the difference between me and another person.”
