At 38, Ashwin continues to showcase his ability with both bat and ball. He emphasized how he prioritizes his bowling, but over time, he has worked to compartmentalize his batting mindset, stating, “I think like a bowler mostly but I have made a conscious effort to think like a batter when I walk out with a bat in my hand.”
