T20 is almost like a Football game, says Ravichandran Ashwin

We all know the incident when Ravichandran Ashwin got out in a different way which was stated as "Retired Out" which has made the cricket world think about it.

The right-arm off-spinner has opened up about that incident in a recent interaction with Cricbuzz, saying, "It was an in-the-moment thing. It’s a team game that we often forget in the euphoria.

But then it’s an important aspect of the game we haven’t considered. T20 is more a team game than we all know. It is almost as much as football.

The goal scorers are like your opening batter or wicket-takers. But they are worth it only if your goalkeeper or defenders are ready to do what it takes," Ashwin was quoted as saying by CricTracker.

Moreover, the Director of Cricket of Rajasthan Royals, Kumar Sangakkara has also shared a few words about the decision taken by the legendary off-spinner and said, "Ashwin himself was asking from the field as well, and we had discussed it just before that, as to what we would do," Sangakkara was quoted as same as in CricTracker.

"I thought the way Ashwin handled that situation, walking in (in the 10th over) under pressure, the way he batted to support the team.

And then finally, (he) sacrificed himself in terms of being retired out, (which) was just magnificent. And then he went out in the field and backed it up with an excellent, excellent bowling effort," he further explained.
