'Shed a few tears': Ravichandran Ashwin

It was quite an emotional moment for him. Ishant Sharma, Suresh Raina and I were sitting in his room that evening. He was still wearing his Test match jersey through entire night and he shed a few tears as well,”  said Ashwin while interacting on his YouTube channel.

“I first met him as a net bowler during an India-West Indies ODI at Chepauk. And n when I joined Chennai Super Kings in 2008, I got to work with him and learn a lot. He h that long hair when I met him earlier but n after spending time with him at CSK I realised what a mature leer he was,”   veteran offie ded.
