The 36-year-old Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has offered his thoughts on the secret to former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni’s success. One of the important elements that contributed to Dhoni’s success, according to Ashwin, was the sense of security he created for his group.

It’s been nearly a fortnight since the World Test Championship final ended in sadness. But the wounds are still fresh, particularly for Ravichandran Ashwin, who was initially overlooked for the playing XI by team management and then had to see his side lose by an emphatic margin of 209 runs against Australia.

Despite having taken the most wickets for India in the last two World Test Championship (WTC) finals, Ashwin was not included in the starting lineup for the match against Australia. He had 61 wickets in the recently finished WTC, but India chose to play an additional seamer in the championship match instead of him, which proved to be a mistake.

This choice sparked a discussion on the function of spinners in international settings. Many people were shocked by Ashwin’s absence given his stellar recent achievements. He is an invaluable contributor to India’s Test team because of his experience, talent, and capacity for both run control and wicket-taking.

“We haven’t won an ICC trophy in 10 years” – Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin, a 36-year-old Indian cricketer, discussed the social media comments on the Indian team’s missed opportunity to end their ICC trophy drought. Most of the posts were about Dhoni, who had guided India to three ICC trophy victories. The 36-year-old cricketer argued that the players in the chosen group felt secure under Dhoni, which contributed to their success.

“It is understandable that there’s a furor in India that we haven’t won an ICC trophy in 10 years. I empathize with the fans. But the reaction on social media is that this player should be dropped and that player should be included. But the quality of a player doesn’t change overnight.

“A lot of us talk about MS Dhoni’s leadership. What did he do? He kept it very simple. Under his regime, where I also played, he will pick a squad of 15. The same squad of 15 and the XI will play throughout the year. That sense of security is very important for a player,” Ravichandran Ashwin said.
