Ravichandran Ashwin’s stellar performance in Chennai during the Test match against Bangladesh brought joy to both fans and his family. But the fun didn’t stop after the game. In a heartwarming and lighthearted moment, Ashwin’s wife, Preeti, interviewed him on the field, revealing a playful complaint she has about her husband’s focus during matches.
Family Moments on the Field After the Victory
In a video shared by the BCCI, Ashwin was seen enjoying time with his wife and two daughters post-match. Preeti took the role of the interviewer, asking him a series of questions with their kids by her side. The family shared a beautiful moment as Preeti asked Ashwin what gift he would give their daughters for Daughter’s Day. Ashwin, always quick on his feet, replied with a grin, “I’ll give them the ball with which I took five wickets.”
The candid moment continued as Preeti asked Ashwin about his remarkable performance on his home ground. Ashwin, visibly humble, admitted that the events of the match took him by surprise. “I didn’t expect to score a century when I went in to bat. It had been a while since I last batted, but there’s something special about this ground that always inspires me,” Ashwin said.
Preeti Reveals a Funny Complaint
The highlight of the interview came when Preeti revealed a fun complaint she and their daughters often have about Ashwin. She shared that both she and the kids feel like Ashwin never looks at them during matches. Even during the first day of this match, she said, “You didn’t look at me at all!” Ashwin, smiling, responded that it’s tough to focus on the family while he’s on the field, but he tries his best.
