Speaking on the ICC website, Ashwin said, “The beauty of Test cricket is that you always aspire to be perfect but you can also enjoy greatness.” That’s why I do it. What I have achieved so far in my career, because of this attitude, is that I will never settle for anything but continue to seek improvement. I just want to say again that if I don’t want to do different things and I can’t be patient or satisfied to try something new, I can’t keep up with the game.
