Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that the recently-retired Ravichandran Ashwin's constant drive to evolve was one of the reasons that made him stand out. Ashwin called time on his prolific career at the end of the Gabba Test, leaving a rich legacy as one of India's finest match-winners.
Shastri was on hand to witness many of those match-winning efforts in his role as India's head coach and the 62-year-old opened up on the tweaker's penchant to develop his game, working on new deliveries and his action even in the later stages of his career.
"I think what stands out for me was his wanting to evolve all the time. He wasn't the kind of guy satisfied as to where he started," Shastri said at the ICC Review.
