Rahul Dravid has immense depth of knowledge, amazing vision: Ashwin
The Hindu
He said he is looking forward to trying to contribute alongside Rahul and being of use to the team in any way possible.
Before being recalled into India’s T20 squad for the ICC T20 World Cup, the last time Ravichandran Ashwin played in India’s blues was way back in July 2017. No wonder then, that the veteran offspinner was rolling his arm over in the pre-match warm-ups as soon as the team walked out on the park since its tournament-opener versus Pakistan.
Besides, Ashwin was playing for India for the first time since the World Test Championship, having been benched right through the Test series in England.
Thanks to a calf strain to Varun Chakravarthy, Ashwin finally got an opportunity versus Afghanistan on Friday. After marking his comeback with a flawless spell of 2/14 off his four overs, Ashwin, the articulate speaker, on Thursday opened up on his prolonged wait in a press conference. Edited excerpts:
