During a panel discussion in Fox Sports recently, Vaughan had said the Indian cricket team should have achieved more on the field, particularly in the ICC events, considering the resources at their disposal.
바카라Michael Vaughan recently made a statement that the Indian team is underachievers. Yes, we haven바카라t won an ICC trophy in a while, and we call ourselves the powerhouse of the game. But that바카라s just one side of the coin,바카라 Ashwin said in his YouTube channel.
The 37-year-old said India have produced excellent results, especially in Test cricket, around the world in the last few years.
바카라Our Test team has been one of the best travelling teams at present. We have seen many great results. After Vaughan made that statement, so many experts from our own country started debating if India is an underachieving team. Frankly, it made me laugh,바카라 he said.
Ashwin then went on to offer a reverse scenario for the first Test in Centurion which was won by South Africa.
바카라Let바카라s reverse the situation. If South Africa had batted first after winning the toss in Centurion, wasn't there a chance they could have gotten all out by 65?
"Even India was staring at the barrel at 20 for three, but Virat and Shreyas' partnership from there saved us.바카라

Ashwin also emphasised that the series-drawing effort of India in Cape Town underlined the team바카라s ability to bounce back from adversities.
바카라Quality cricket team with good mental fortitude and mental skills can make a comeback from any situation, and this Indian team has time and again proved it.
"Yes, we lost two WTC finals. I accept it wholeheartedly. But in the case of Test series, a comeback is always possible,바카라 he added.
Ashwin also urged the pundits to view cricket just as a sport.
바카라What we need to understand is that cricket is still a sport. In India, we talk cricket in every nook and cranny and consider the sport a religion.
"I feel we criticise and nitpick too much and get into unnecessary details. I think these are blinding us,바카라 said Ashwin.
