The opposing team kidnapped Ravichandran Ashwin: The third Test match played between India and Australia in Brisbane ended in a draw. Due to this, Indian cricket fans heaved a sigh of relief. But what happened next was surprising. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who took the second highest wicket for India in Tests, announced his retirement from international cricket. Ashwin was a player who faced the challenge of the opposing team and performed his best. Except once in his career, he was never afraid of anyone. Once Ashwin was kidnapped by the opposing team and he was quite shocked.

Ashwin was kidnapped

Ashwin said this in an interview. Ashwin told that when he was going from his house to play a match, four-five people kidnapped him. Ashwin saved his life with great difficulty. Ashwin said, when I left home to play the match, four-five people like body builders came to me and took me in the car. He made me sit in the car and took me to a tea shop. And there he ordered Bhajiya and Vada. And they told me, if you play, we will cut off your fingers. Then I remained silent and kept listening to him. However, I was very scared. Then they told me that we will not harm you, we just want you not to play the match. This matter was about a tennis ball match.

Ashwin made this excuse to escape

Ashwin stayed there for some time and then thought of running away from there. Ashwin said, I gave him the excuse that my father was coming home, which he accepted. I told her that my father would be returning from office and hence I would have to stay at home. I promise you I won’t play.’ Ashwin’s cricket career could have ended here, but he was not afraid of it and kept playing. Ashwin made a comeback in the Indian team and joined the list of India’s greatest match-winners.
