Here's Ravichandran Ashwin talking to the host broadcasters after the game:

On being picked for this tournament: It was more like a May day call, I was chilling at home, played a couple of club games but Rohit and Rahul [Dravid] had told me that if there is a situation we will come back to you, I just told them jokingly that hope you never come back to me [smiles].

Here's Ravichandran Ashwin talking to the host broadcasters after the game:


On today's pitch: I played a lot of cricket in Chennai. It is a quite unlike Chennai pitch, with lots of cracks. You saw how Hazlewood and the Aussies bowled in the 2nd innings. We were actually a little concerned at how it would pan out. The crowd always gets behind us here. Thankfully we lost the toss and Jadeja was on a roll after he got the ball.

Rohit should be there

I knew today he won't play...inner feeling you know smiley37

otherwise he scores against AFG, SL, NED, BANG smiley36

so we need him


Ishan honestly he is poonam ka chand smiley36 He should be benched , He is over rated because of wicket keeping they are taking him (even his Strike rate is higher i know i know but whenever he plays you don't know what he will do in the ground smiley44)

At least SKy is not like that

Here's Ravichandran Ashwin talking to the host broadcasters after the game:

On him adjusting to today's pitch: It's more than the pace, it's difficult for the bowlers to bowl at a particular speed. It's about getting the sidespin and overspin right, getting my body into position - all of these things. It's about getting that right for me. For me it usually takes about 6-8 balls to get that right.

Here's Ravichandran Ashwin talking to the host broadcasters after the game:

On how his emotions were when India were 2/3: When I saw Virat Kohli's ball went up in the air, I ran outside the dressing room. I literally ran outside the dressing room, I was like thinking wake me up when it's all over. It's a World Cup game against Australia so you don't expect anything easy. It's a big game and when you are shot for 199, do you think you expected us to coast home. I ran back into the dressing room and the crowd erupted. I stayed in the same place for the entire game. My legs are paining now actually.

On how his performance will be analysed by everyone after today: I need to pick my Whatsapp messages and go on Twitter to find out. But I need to stay out of social media [smiles]. The day I was picked, everyone near my area said you will win us the World Cup. I was like dude... [smiles]

As long as I keep performing for India, I will be happy. I have played for 13 years and want to continue to deliver.

India start their World Cup campaign with a hard-fought win. The bowlers delivered but it was the calmness and composure of the middle order that would please Rohit and the management. They were in a spot of bother and two of their experienced batters came to the fore. Australia would look back and feel they were a few runs short but having just one recognised spinner in the squad, especially in these conditions, might come back to bite them. That's all from us. Tomorrow we have the high-flying New Zealand taking on an ever-improving Netherlands.
