Adelaide: Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin says the Indian cricket team is “disappointed” but not “embarrassed” with their disastrous showings in Australia even as they headed towards a second successive series whitewash on foreign shores.
“Embarrassment is not the right word. It would be nice if you could rephrase it. Nobody has fooled or cheated anyone. We are extremely disappointed and that’s probably is the word I can use,” said Ashwin after India ended the fourth day of the final Test in Adelaide at 166 for six here today.
“It’s only a sport. At the end of the day, we have competed hard, it’s not that we have chucked it away. Yes we came down short on occasions but there were moments which we could have seized and it would have looked different.
“We have not seized initiative and there hasn’t been enough in the back to do it,” he added. (PTI)
