Indian off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin just like his fellow team mates both at the international and domestic level, has been confined to his house for more than two months on account of the COVID-19 induced lockdown. The forced break has made it virtually impossible for cricketers to go out to practice and train outside amid the stringent social distancing norms enforced upon both the Union and State governments. Cricketers are leaving no stone unturned to keep themselves in good shape by doing their regular exercises and fitness drills indoors. The long break has taken a toll on Ashwin as he expressed his feelings of getting impatient and itchy and wanting to go out to play. “Initially I felt like I was okay, but now I’m getting really itchy, I want to go out and play, or do something like that, I am getting really itchy inside the house,” Ashwin said during an online conversation with Sadhguru.During the conversation, Ashwin played the host and asked numerous questions to Sadhguru on COVID-19 and other topics. The 33-year-old spinner resides in Chennai where sporting activities still hasn’t resumed. All sporting activities in the nation have come to a standstill after the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. The BCCI has suspended the IPL, all major domestic competitions till further notice. Meanwhile the ICC is still not decided about the fate of the 2020 ICC World T20 which was slated to be held in Australia later this year.
