Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin said, “Dhoni is a great captain. He handled things so well. Everything he touches turns to gold. People were saying that I should have been in the eleven in the semifinal and the final but Dhoni was proved right in playing three pacemen. I cannot ask for anything more than a World Cup for India.”
