“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.

“He has become a prisoner of his own reputation” – Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement about Abhishek Sharma
Aakash Chopra and Abhishek Sharma. (Photo Sourced: After India’s win in the first T20I against South Africa on Friday, former India opener Aakash Chopra has made a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma. In the first T20 match played between India and South Africa, once again Abhishek Sharma’s bat did not work and he was out after scoring 7 runs in 8 balls. Abhishek was caught by Gerald Coetzee by captain Aiden Markram in the fourth over. The 24-year-old all-rounder has so far scored only 166 runs in 9 T20 International matches at an average of 20.75. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a surprising claim on Abhishek’s continuous flops. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube on Saturday, “This is the story of two openers. On one side there is Sanju Samson, whose star is shining. On the other side is Abhishek Sharma, whose stars are in the ascendant. When Abhishek scored a century against Zimbabwe, he was a new rising star. But since then it has gone downhill. He was out against Coetzee in the first T20. Looking at the kind of shots he hit, it seems as if he has become a prisoner of his own reputation. He is not able to get rid of the reputation he has created (as a fast batsman). They feel that I play like this, so now I have to play like this. I won’t wait. In such a situation, another failure has occurred.” However, the former cricketer expressed hope that Abhishek will open in the remaining three matches against South Africa as well. But Akash also warned that if the young player fails to create a consistent impact then problems may arise. He said, “A time will come when problems will arise. Questions will be asked as to how long you will be associated with Abhishek. He will get a chance in three more matches. But with every match the sand seems to be slipping from our hands.”
