India veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who was recently featured in the Test series against England said that he doesn't have common insecurities and that helps him to deal with outside noise. Ashwin is one of the calmest cricketers from India he picked up 516 Test wickets with his unique calculated bowling.
Ravichandran Ashwin will be the vital cog for India in the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand after that the star spinner will also feature against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 which will be hosted by Australia in November.
"I'm not insecure at all. I would rather fail in life than be absolutely safe. That's my character. I don't have the common insecurities that people have," he asserts with the same clarity with which he decodes complex cricket laws in his social media feeds, which don't take long to become viral trends.
"Breaking away from my insecurity (as a child) gave me a great insight into how I can exploit somebody else's insecurity. And that's how I see cricket or life in general," he explained, letting out perhaps the secret of his understated aggression on the field.
