Beautifully written. But somehow no one is willing to go into the “Why” of Ashwin being asked to constantly prove himself. Feel he could turn out to be a captain of an IPL team
He has been captain of an IPL team before, tbh. More than just the armband, he'll need a team management that supports his ways, that lets him be. Hard to see captaincy happening at CSK, but hopefully Ranji Trophy.
What a lovely tribute! This piece frames for me who Ashwin is--someone who looked for the art in the craft of bowling (and batting) and the craft in the art of it.

Should rename Substack to Notebook for Bobby.

Thank you, Satyajit :)
This is a lovely tribute
Thank you!
This is a book's worth of information condensed into a longform. As always, exceptionally done.
Thank you! :)
I hope Ashwin reads this somehow. This would put a smile on this face! :)
Thanks man :)
