Ravichandran Ashwin: Did the Legendary Player Deserve This Disrespect?
Respect for veterans is the foundation of sports culture, isn't it?
Former India player Manoj Tiwary has slammed the Indian team management, led by Gautam Gambhir, for their treatment of Ravichandran Ashwin. According to Tiwary, the legendary spinner was disrespected, which led to his premature retirement during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Tiwary stressed that replacing Ashwin with young spinners like Washington Sundar in home matches, despite the veteran's experience, was disrespectful. He also accused Gambhir of not adhering to his own principles and having misunderstandings with captain Rohit Sharma, which resulted in leaks from the dressing room.
The situation raises the question: is the Indian team really ready to preserve its legendary legacy?
