In the latest video shared by RR on Twitter, R Ashwin said: “Method, madness, and courage. Those are three words that I will put myself under. What I have done in my life is also based on all these three lines and whatever I end up doing from now on will also be on those three lines.”
He added, “I have always believed there has been a method to my madness. That madness is more of a perception for people that are looking at me and watching me. 'What is he doing? Why is he doing all this? Why is he trying so many things? It is a matter of perception.”
The veteran cricketer also said that he does not think much about what people say or feel about him. Ashwin signed off by saying, “For me, I have never bothered about what someone else has to think about me because I have believed firmly that I should succeed or fail on my own terms.”
