For off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, the game of cricket is everything, without which he says he feels literally lost.On Tuesday Ashwin revealed how he worked on his skills during the Covid-19 induced lockdown and he also touched upon how he was not desperate to succeed in the recent tour of Australia where India managed to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against-all-odds."Look, I think, the whole pandemic thing and the way we were shut off, I was thinking what is going to happen?

I thought the game is not on anymore, I was reflecting upon myself and how I can learn from people. In the past when I have toured abroad, it was more of desperation to prove others wrong. But this time when I went to Australia, it was about proving to myself what I am capable of," Ashwin told Kohli in a video posted on ..
