Pragyan Ojha: Ashwin effectively harnessed his cricketing intelligence and relentless hunger for success

The Hindu  

When we began playing age-group cricket more than two decades ago, I distinctly remember hearing the name Ravichandran Ashwin for the first time. Eventually, he earned his place in Tamil Nadu’s Ranji Trophy team, featured in the Indian Premier League, and established himself as a genuine spinner, breaking into India’s white-ball team in 2010. I believe he has effectively harnessed his cricketing intelligence and relentless hunger for success. This combination of cricketing intelligence and an insatiable drive to perform has enabled him to claim 537 wickets in Test cricket, which is phenomenal.
