'It's not like I enjoy controversy but I enjoy a fight': India's Ashwin shares unfiltered thoughts on approach to game

Hindustan Times  

Senior India off-spinner R Ashwin is not the one to mince his words. It's not like I enjoy controversy but I enjoy a fight and that's pretty much who I am here, it sums it up," R. Ashwin said in a video posted by ICC on Twitter. "The beauty of Test cricket is you are always aspiring to be perfect but you can settle for excellence and that's pretty much what I think I do," said Ashwin. If I don't like different things or if I lose the passion to do something new or get satisfied then I might not play the sport anymore." "I don't really read or dwell too much on my performances to be very honest and if I had to like please people and satisfy people and get them to talk to things about me, I would just be spending my lifetime doing that and it's not possible you can't make everyone happy and that's not something I live for at all," he said.
