Team India’s spinner Ravichandran Ashwin performed brilliantly in the Test series played against England. In this tournament, Ashwin played his 100th test match and also completed 500 wickets. In the middle of this test series, he had to leave the Indian team and leave for his home. Ashwin had gone to his home during the Rajkot Test due to his mother’s health.
Regarding this, recently on his YouTube channel, Ashwin told how he started crying after hearing about his mother’s ill health. Ashwin told that he was looking for a flight and there was no flight. After this, Ashwin became quite impressed with the work that Rohit did. Recently, Ashwin described Rohit as 10 steps ahead of Dhoni and also praised him wholeheartedly.
R Ashwin praised captain Rohit Sharma wholeheartedly
Actually, Ashwin completed 500 wickets of his Test career in the third Test. After this achievement, he came to know that his mother was ill and after this he started crying and started looking for a flight to go home. When he asked the doctor how his mother was and whether she was unconscious, he replied that she was not in a position to see. In such a situation, Ashwin had tears in his eyes and when he could not get any flight from Rajkot to Chennai, Rohit Sharma and Dravid came to his room.
‘Rohit is a tremendous leader’
Ashwin said that Rohit and Rahul bhai came to my room. Rohit said stop thinking and go to the family. He was attempting to set me up on a charter flight. After that, Kamlesh received a call from Rohit inquiring as to how I was doing.
The spinner further said that he asked him to stay with him in this difficult time. It was 9:30 at night and I was shocked. I can’t even imagine. I thought if I was the captain I would tell my player to go home, but would I call people to look after him? I don’t know, I saw a tremendous leader in Rohit Sharma that day.
Rohit is 10 steps ahead of Dhoni
Along with this, Ashwin said that Dhoni is also a great leader, the way he has made CSK win the title 5 times in IPL under his captaincy. Dhoni is known for his calm decisions on the field, but what Rohit did that day has taken him 10 steps ahead in my eyes.
‘Even life is here for Rohit’
Ashwin said for Rohit that because of the kind of true person he is, any player would be ready to sacrifice his life for him.
Apart from this, the star spinner said on England’s baseball cricket that after the first test, I understood one thing that baseball is not only aggressive cricket. This is also defenseless cricket. The English team could not play defensive shots at all. I was surprised that Joe Root also agreed with England’s aggressive playing strategy. I knew that if he played aggressively against us, he would lose wickets. That’s what we did. He said that the spell he bowled in Visakhapatnam was the best.
