Indian Cricket Fans are still not digesting team India’s loss in World Cup Semi Final against West Indies. They are suffering from bipolar disorder syndrome analyzing what actually cost India to lose the match even after scoring a big total. Most of them say those No balls are the turning points in the match. Ravichandran Ashwin was one of the bowlers who bowled a No ball and hence he was facing criticism for it.

Ravichandran Ashwin came out defending himself from all the criticisms saying that bowling one of the two no-balls should not make him a villain. “The day I went back home my dog was suffering from heat stroke. He had fits. It just showed me what is more important and what is very important in life. I did not turn up a piece of paper for next three days. I haven’t read about what people had said,” Ashwin said.

Everybody including captain MS Dhoni had commented after the end of the match that the two balls did cost the India dearly. Ashwin’s no balls which Lendl Simmons had a lifeline. Simmons utilized the opportunity to the fullest as he proved to be the backbone of the West Indian run chase.

“There have been good enough journalists and knowledgeable people who said I had not bowled a no-ball for ages and to have bowled one no ball, I don’t become a villain. If that’s the perception I don’t know how to counter that. When there was dew I did not bowl. It’s better you ask someone who actually bowled, to be very honest. I don’t know how it felt with the dew on. It’s very amusing because, with the first 12 balls I bowled, I created a wicket opportunity as well,” he explained.

Ashwin confronted the journalist who had asked him about the dew factor to find out the publication he represented. “I am not blaming you. But you should be responsible for what you write as millions of people read it and form an opinion,” he said to the journalist.
