CHENNAI: Ravichandran Ashwin always had respect for Rohit Sharma, the outstanding leader, but what stands out is the Indian skipper’s heart of gold and humane qualities, something the spinner witnessed first hand when his mother Chitra was hospitalised during the third Test in Rajkot.
In a society where an individual mostly thinks about one’s own self, Rohit Sharma the leader stands out for his empathy and golden heart, which makes his teammates put their bodies on the line for him, feels Ashwin, who had to rush back to Chennai hours after he had taken his 500th Test wicket.
On his Tamil YouTube channel, Ashwin recollected the horrifying 48 hours of his life, which also stood out for camaraderie and brotherhood amongst teammates.
