Having been neglected of India’s XI for the WTC ultimate in opposition to Australia regardless of being the No. 1 Take a look at bowler on the earth, R Ashwin appears at it as a “stumbling block” in his profession and never a “setback”. Ashwin’s omission by India, who selected to play 4 fast bowlers and a spinner in Ravindra Jadeja, triggered a debate particularly after they misplaced by 209 runs at The Oval, which is among the extra spin-friendly pitches in England.

If I am not good at one thing, I will be my first greatest critic. And I’ll work on it and I am not somebody who will sit on my laurels. I’ve by no means been made that manner.
