R.Ashwin took responsibility for the defeat: Team India's magical spinner R. Ashwin has blamed himself for the disappointing 0-3 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand. This is the first time that Team India has faced a whitewash in a series of three or more Test matches at home. However, Team India has not lost any series in India for the last 12 years.
Ashwin's pain spilled out…!
Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that Team India lost 0-3 against New Zealand. I read somewhere that this had never happened before in India. I know from my career and my experience so far that we don't have that much emotion when we play but it was very disappointing. For the last two-three days I am not able to understand what to say in this matter.
The team lost because of my poor performance
Taking responsibility for India's poor performance in the series, Ashwin said that he himself could not perform well, due to which the team had to face defeat. I have high expectations from myself. I am the player who says that I am responsible for whatever goes wrong. I myself was responsible for the defeat in this series. I could not bat lower in the order. As a bowler, I made good starts many times but gave away runs many times. I gave my best but it was not enough.
