“I Have The Streets: A Kutti Cricket Story,” written by one of India’s greatest red-ball cricket match winners, Ravichandran Ashwin, was just released. Co-written by Siddharth Monga, Ashwin’s thoughts and, most significantly, his viewpoints are revealed in this book.
The renowned cricket player opened up about the same thing by saying that he doesn’t think things through thoroughly before acting and that he doesn’t focus on reaching goals. The 37-year-old continued by saying he puts off considering life’s right and wrongs until later. Additionally, the spin magician revealed that he is not insecure and is prepared to fail rather than take chances. He talked on shattering barriers of insecurity in his early years and how it applies to both life and cricket.
“I am simply living my life.” I have no intention of achieving targets ‘A, ‘B, or ‘C’. I’m going to remain present. Being creative by nature, I will always follow my instincts and do what I feel like doing. I will integrate (whether it’s) correct or wrong later,” Ashwin reportedly stated, according to the Times of India.
“I don’t feel insecure at all. It is better for me to fail in life than to be completely safe. I am like that. I’m not afraid of things as most people are. Getting over my insecurities as a child has given me a fantastic understanding of how to take advantage of other people’s insecurities. And that’s how I view life in general and cricket in particular,” he said.

The cricketer from Chennai also disclosed that, because of time constraints while Ravichandran Ashwin was a regular in the national squad, COVID-19 allowed him to explore his creative zone. In addition to being a cricket player, Ashwin developed new talents during the virus breakout, during which the entire world was under lockdown. He is currently a YouTuber and novelist.

I don’t have a lot of spare time. I make plans, but living is what matters to me. I felt like cricket had taken up a lot of my time since his India debut in 2010, but COVID provided me with an opportunity to step back and evaluate my situation. The COVID-mandated hiatus has allowed me to express myself freely, explore new creative outlets, and so on and so forth for the past four years,” Ashwin said.
