"Just because your favourite isn't there in the squad, you shouldn't degrade the others"– Ashwin takes a dig at the Indian Cricket Team fans

In Ravichandran Ashwin's recently uploaded video, "India at the Asia Cup | Squad Analysis by R Ashwin" on his YouTube channel, Ashwin asked the Indian cricket team fans to be more supportive towards all the players who will put on the Indian jersey and not degrade anyone because of their own favouritism.

Ashwin's take on the upcoming Asia Cup campaign

Ravichandran Ashwin, the Indian spinner who have made many batters question their batting ability through his trickery, is now succeeding on the youtube platform too, through his channel Ashwin.

He talks cricket and assess the current situation of the Indian Cricket team and many more on that channel. So during one of those sessions he put light on how the fans may not agree with the selecting committee of the upcoming Asia cup campaign and start degrading players who've been selected in the squad.

Ashwin said "When you get into the World cup, we should see all our players as representatives of India - once IPL gets over, put a cloth, move on & once the player plays for India, accept he did well in IPL - so if your favourite is not in the squad, just not degrade others".

Ashwin on Suryakumar Yadav

He said this to support Surya Kumar Yadav's case of getting selected. As we all know Surya Kumar Yadav has been brilliant for team India in the T20 format but he haven't got the opportunity to shine in the ODI stage, considering his recent form, the selectors have decided to give him a chance to which many fans might disagree, according to Ashwin.

"Surya has that X-factor and that's why the team is backing him to come good in the ODI format as well", said Ashwin. He also added, "Of course, if you want to have a for and against debate for dropping or selecting a player, you can have a healthy debate."

He also said that the audiences know how good Suryakumar Yadav has been for team India and how he brought a match winning impact with his presence and how he has become India team's go to guy in the T20 matches.

Ashwin even tried to make the viewers understand by creating a hypothetical situation by saying, "See, let us say Suryakumar Yadav is batting alongside Virat Kohli in a crucial run chase in one of the World Cup games. We require 140 to get in 20 overs. Even if you are not a Mumbai Indians' supporter at that point in time, you will appreciate Suryakumar and will want him to take us home, right?"

Ashwin's final assessment

And also said that if someone does do it, it's a false argument or a false debate. He said that the selectors know what they're doing and emphasised on his previous point of Suryakumar Yadav being an X-factor.

He concluded by saying that "I know, in a huge country like India, when you select a squad, of course there will be some key players who will be missing the cut. So, just because your favourite isn't there in the squad you shouldn't degrade the others."

Conclusion

He have been very positive about his selection and always tried to put the team forward from the very beginning and this video was no different than that. His attitude towards him not being in the squad was really encouraging and it showed how he was not at all envious of his teammates and wanted team India to do well in the Asia cup.
