India vs England, 3rd Test: The constant evolution that has driven Ravichandran Ashwin to greatness

Hindustan Times  

Many shades of R Ashwin have come to the fore in his existence as an international cricketer. As Sunil Subramanian, former Indian team manager and Ashwin’s childhood coach, says, “I haven't known anyone anywhere in the world with that many wickets who has been dropped. The setbacks he has had have hardened him as a pro.” When Ashwin made his Test debut in November 2011, his first challenge was to step into the role of India’s premier off-spinner after Harbhajan Singh had excelled for a decade. He is always willing to come out of his comfort zone to try new things.” Ashwin’s record away from home has improved significantly in the last six years. That Ashwin has still been dropped from the eleven for many away Tests, most glaringly in the World Test Championship final last year, on the pretext of team balance hasn’t been fair to him.
