“I am also a big reason” – Ashwin blamed himself for the defeat in NZ series
Ashwin (Source X) A few days ago, India had to face a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at their own home. Now R Ashwin has given a big statement regarding this defeat and he has also considered himself guilty for this defeat. Although most of the players do not take responsibility for the defeat in such matches, but R Ashwin is one of them, who believes that he was also a major reason behind Team India’s defeat. This was the first time that the Indian team had to face a clean sweep at home in a Test series of three or more matches. After 12 years, the Indian team lost the Test series at home. R Ashwin could not perform well with ball and bat in all three matches of this series. His performance in just three matches was not of the standard for which he is known. R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding the defeat in NZ series Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel about the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to New Zealand, “In my career and in my experience in cricket, we have not had a very shattering experience, that is the right word, I felt bad – I didn’t know how to react to this for the last 2-3 days. I am also a big reason, could not contribute lower-order runs, lost wickets at the wrong time.” Ashwin was seen struggling to take wickets in this series. He could take a total of 9 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. This is rarely seen because Ashwin’s record on Indian pitches has been excellent and he easily takes 9-10 wickets in a match. R Ashwin scored 51 runs as a batsman in 6 innings of the 3-match Test series, in which he did not even open his account in one innings. At the same time, as a bowler he could take only 9 wickets. In the first match, he got only one wicket, whereas in the second match, he was able to take 5 wickets in both the innings. At the same time, even on a rank turner in Mumbai, he could take only 3 wickets. He could not take even a single wicket in the first innings.

Ravi Ashwin (Pic Source-X) New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs in the third and final Test match played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Let us tell you that Team India needed 147 runs to win this match but the hosts were all out for 121 runs. In this match, Ravichandran Ashwin narrowly escaped being out but he could not use this opportunity well and returned back to the pavilion after scoring only 6 runs. Glenn Phillips, who came in the 27th over of Team India’s second innings, bowled a very good ball which was defended by Ravichandran Ashwin. However, the ball hit his bat and started going towards the stumps. Indian players also immediately started trying to stop the ball with their bats. The speed of the ball slowed down but it hit the stumps. The most surprising thing was that despite the ball hitting the stumps, Bails did not fall and Ravichandran Ashwin got a lifeline. However, Ravichandran Ashwin could not take advantage of this opportunity and gave his wicket to Glenn Phillips in the 29th over of India’s innings.

Apart from Rishabh Pant, no other player could bat well for the hosts in this match. Washington Sundar scored 12 runs while captain Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring 11 runs. For New Zealand, Ajaz Patel bowled lethally and took 6 wickets in the second innings while Glenn Phillips took three wickets. With this victory, New Zealand won the three-match Test series 3-0. While on one hand Ajaz Patel won the Player of the Match award, on the other hand Will Young won the Player of the Series award. Team India batted very poorly in this entire series due to which they had to face defeat. If we talk about Ravichandran Ashwin, in this series he could neither do wonders with batting nor with bowling.

In the second innings, he first tightened the noose on Rachin Ravindra and then gave a big success to the team by clean bowling Glenn Phillips. This is how Glenn Phillips was clean bowled by Ashwin.

No run came on the fourth ball and then Ashwin made a comeback and clean bowled Phillips. Ashwin bowled the carrom ball, Phillips played on the wrong line and then the ball hit the stumps. Glenn Phillips played an inning of 26 runs in 14 balls with the help of one four and 3 sixes and New Zealand got the sixth blow on the score of 131.

The spinners of both the teams bowled very well on the Pune pitch. For New Zealand, Mitchell Santner took 13 wickets, Ravichandran Ashwin took 5 wickets while Jadeja took three wickets. After the end of the second test, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma made a big statement about these two bowlers. According to The Daily Star, after the second test, Rohit Sharma said, ‘There are a lot of expectations from these two players. In every match that these players play, it is expected from them that they take wickets and play an important role in helping their team win the match. I don’t think this is correct. It is the responsibility of all of us players to make our team win the test. It is not just about two players. We all know that both these players have always performed very well in all formats but now the other players will also have to fulfill their responsibilities well. Both these players have played a lot of cricket and have also played an important role in the team’s victory: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma further said, ‘Both these players have played a lot of cricket and the performance of both these players was of high level in the 18 consecutive series we won at home. Sometimes a player is allowed to play poorly. It will not happen every time that a player is performing well for your team. The third and final Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Even though Team India has not been able to register victory in the first two tests, they would like to perform brilliantly in the last match.

This is really a very big country and playing for Team India has always been a passion among the players here. This is a very positive thing. Also, there are many important things which are very important to complete a test match. Like the weather and the way we invest money in the drainage system. Do certain test centers help a player? Yes why not? This is because when we go to Australia, there are only five testing centers there. They don’t play with us at Manuka Oval in Canberra. There are only a few stadiums where test matches are played. We see the same in England too where Test matches are played in only a few centres.
