Ashwin gave a big statement on Padikkal’s debut

Let us tell you that regarding this statement of Ashwin, BCCI has also posted a video on its official Cricket X account. According to this video, Ashwin says- As a very small child, who has come on the field.

Through T20 cricket, he has achieved what people dream of. He has emerged as one of the cricket stars of the state, but he has also gone through times that will always be difficult for the youth.

Earlier, he could not make his debut due to physical problem, but when he came here, it was in limbo whether he would play or not. His life has been very kind, but he has struggled a lot for it. Maybe that’s the one thing that makes you tough as a person and a cricketer.
