Ashwin: We know who is spewing venom..!?

Chennai Super Kings have been facing severe criticism for their poor performance. Speaking about the situation, senior player Ravichandran Ashwin, who is part of the team, said, “You can easily identify who is giving constructive criticism and who is spewing venom,” and that “Dinesh karthik told him that royal challengers Bangalore fans will not give up on their players under any circumstances.” His speech has created a stir among CSK fans. chennai Super Kings bought Ravichandran Ashwin for Rs 9.75 crore in the 2025 IPL auction. He played in all the first five matches played by CSK in this year’s IPL. His performance in it has not been satisfactory to a large extent.
So far, Ashwin has taken only five wickets. He has conceded an average of 9.88 runs per over. In this situation, criticism is also being raised that Ashwin should be removed from the team. Speaking about it, he said, "Nobody wants to lose. I don't care about such jokes and teasing.""You say you shouldn't joke, but I don't care about it. If people talk about us and point out our mistakes, it can also be a concern for us. I take it as constructive criticism. But some people will deliberately spit venom at us." "You can easily identify who gives constructive criticism and who spits venom. I don't worry about that. I just want to be better tomorrow than today. That is the mantra of my life. I don't worry much about other things." "When people who love us talk about us when they talk about our performance, they are speaking the truth. My father still scolds me if I lose a match. My parents still scold me. Criticism from people who love us is definitely good." "Being a fan is not easy. When I was in the rajasthan Royals team, I was completely focused on the matches. I would not come out and say anything. I would also avoid social media. I would not comment on anything."

"Sometimes my friends would say, 'Don't worry, you will play well.' Don't even send me such messages. I would tell them not to know what is happening outside. Some people would criticize us out of anger towards us." "Speaking of fans, last year I spoke to dinesh karthik on a show called 'Kutty Story'. Then he talked about the fans of the royal challengers Bangalore team. He said that RCB fans will never give up on their players under any circumstances."

"So, the criticism from the fans may be genuine. But not every player goes on the field to make a mistake. You can give constructive criticism, you can also make jokes. At the same time, the fans should not give up on their players. I believe they are the real fans," said Ravichandran Ashwin.
