I think there are two things at play, right?” Ashwin said while talking to Nasser and Atherton on Sky Sports.

“One is to be able to give what you have, and the other is to be able to respond to what you throw at the other end, and I have always believed and had the courage to say: this is what I have to offer. “, he added.

“I guess it’s a battle I fight in my head, but beyond all that, I’ve never been shy about sharing what I have, because every time I shared, I found a question inside of me, so when I shared , I had a question.” I had a unique ability to take this question and find answers to it,” he added.
