“Between 2018 and 2020, I contemplated giving up the sport” – Ravichandran Ashwin
Ashwin made a successful comeback in white-ball cricket after a long gap of four years during the ICC T20 World Cup. However, in an interview with The Cricket Monthly, Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that he had multiple thoughts of retiring between 2018 and 2020. Explaining what was going through his mind back then, the off-spinner stated:
“Between 2018 and 2020, I contemplated giving up the sport at various points. I thought, “I have put in a lot of effort, but it is not coming through.” The harder I tried, the farther it felt. I contemplated retirement for a lot of reasons. I felt like people were not sensitive enough to my injuries. I felt like a lot of people were backed, why not me? I have done no less. I have won a lot of games for the team, and I am not feeling backed.”
