Could have played a good role but it was unfortunate that it didn’t happen and we were far behind on the first day.” “But what is the difference between me and the other person who is getting angry (about being dropped) ?

Will be.” He added, “And I’m totally behind it. I don’t know if they brainwashed me to do it or not, but from my point of view I definitely feel that I’ve got a lot of gratitude and I’m very grateful for this journey and what the sport has given me. Ashwin said that the ups and downs he has experienced during his long journey in cricket has helped him to reach the top of his game and perform well. There is no cricketer or human being who has gone through highs without falling down.””When you are in bad phase it gives you opportunity. You can either resent it, talk about it or complain about it and run with it and down you go, or you learn from it and I am someone who has consistently stooped to my lows. I’ve learned from.'”The best thing that will happen today after I’ve had a good day is to eat good food and have good talks with my family and go to bed and forget about it.”When you have a good day you know you’ve had a good day, but there are days when you can work harder and be better for tomorrow. , So for me, the journey has been tough but I am very grateful for all the ups and downs that have come my way, because without ups and downs you have no height in life.” Ashwin will now lead West Indies again in the second innings Willing to trouble and will hope he continues to do so in the next Tests as well.
