Ashwin seeks ‘another gear’ in his pursuit of improvement after scaling Mt. 400“One game at a time.”“I don’t look too far ahead.”These are the cliches associated with modern-day India cricketers, whenever they are asked about their personal targets. 400 during the two-day win over England in the third Test, Ashwin had no qualms saying “I won’t be surprised if I surprise myself in the future as well”. Add to that his mastery of subtle variations, and Ashwin becomes virtually unplayable in Asia. Ollie Pope, the England youngster, is unlikely to forget how he was flummoxed by Ashwin from either side of the umpire in both the innings during the third Test.
