Ashwin breaks silence on his retirement plans

During an interview with Vimal Kumar on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said that he’s thinking about one day at a time and he has put in a lot of effort in the last 3-4 years. Ashwin further added that he hasn’t decided about retirement.

“There is nothing like that in my mind. I am only thinking about one day at a time because when you get older, you have to put in extra effort every single day. It’s not the same. I have put in a lot of effort in the last 3-4 years. I haven’t decided (retirement), but the day I feel that today I don’t want to improve, I will leave. That’s all,” Ashwin said on Vimal Kumar’s YouTube Channel.

Ashwin also talked about the challenges he faced and said that his life has changed after the tough phase and he’s holding on to the joy of playing cricket.

“I know how my life changed after that tough phase. I’m just holding on to my joy of cricket, and the moment I feel I’m losing it, I’ll step away. We all play, and we all have to leave. Somebody else will come and do well. It’s Indian cricket”.

He also talked about surpassing Anil Kumble’s record and said that he hasn’t set any targets. He also said that Kumble wants him to break his record but he’s happy living day by day.
