Who kidnapped Ashwin?
Ashwin revealed in the Breakfast with Champions show that when he was 14-15 years old, he was kidnapped by some boys. Ashwin had told me that he was going for the final match of a tennis ball. Two boys came to his house to pick him up on a bike. Ashwin sat in it. They thought that these boys had come to take them to the ground. But both of them took him to the tea shop instead of the field.
After this he told Ashwin that he was preventing him from playing the match. He does not want Ashwin to play the final match. Ashwin was also threatened by those two boys to chop off his fingers. It is clear from this story of Ashwin that he has been a match-winning cricketer since the beginning, from whom every opposing team has been in awe.
