After accepting his unique 100th cap from Rahul Dravid, Ashwin gave it to his daughter immediately.
Ravichandran Ashwin had to work hard not to cry. He was not prepared to release his feelings, in contrast to the ball in his palm or the words that came out of his mouth. But the whole narrative was told through his eyes and his bashful smile. Prithi, his wife, was wearing a similar expression. Too young to comprehend the significance of the moment, Ashwin’s two kids were giggling and trying not to move as India head coach Rahul Dravid gave a moving speech summarizing Ashwin’s career.
