I am not assessing my performance at all – Ravichandran Ashwin

India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said he is not assessing his past performances at all and he is taking it one game at a time.

Ashwin had a decent IPL campaign for runners-up Rajasthan Royals as he scalped 12 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 41.91.

Ashwin conceded his runs at an economy rate of 7.50, which was crucial in RR’s success. The off-spinner has been troubled by injuries in the recent past and he has been a consistent performer for the national team over the years, especially in the red-ball format.

Speaking to PTI at the launch of Voot Select’s ‘Bandon Mein Tha Dum’, Ashwin said: “I am not assessing my performance at all. I am not in that phase of my life where I am thinking about what happened there and what happened here. Like I told you, I am living it by the day.”

Meanwhile, Ashwin had returned to India’s limited-overs team when he was included in the T20 World Cup in 2021. Ashwin was also awarded the Player of the Series in the home Test series against England as he took 32 wickets in four Test matches.

However, the off-spinner from Tamil Nadu was not included in India’s 18-man squad for the five-match T20I series against South Africa.

Ashwin added he is enjoying his game as he is in the right space of mind.

“The last two years have been hard on a lot of people but it has been very very kind and good to me. So just enjoying my game. I don’t know if it is evident enough on the ground or not. I am totally in a very good space of mind.”

On the other hand, BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed that the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa will be played without any bio bubble as Covid-19 restrictions are easing off.

Speaking on bio bubbles, Ashwin said, “More than anything else, we need to look at the larger picture. If we are able to get over the pandemic and things are getting back to normal, we all should be happy.”
