Fan tells Ashwin to leave CSK; former India legend’s reply will melt the Yellow Army’s hearts – Firstpost

Ravichandran Ashwin may not have had the best season with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025 , but the veteran spinner has made his love for the franchise clear. During a YouTube live session, Ashwin was asked by a fan to leave CSK because of their dismal performance this season, where they finished last in the points table.
This is the worst-ever performance by CSK in their IPL history. When Ashwin conducted his usual YouTube show after their final league stage game of the season, a fan asked him to leave the franchise. But instead of ignoring the message, Ashwin gave a heartfelt reply that touched many fans.
The fan had commented: _”_Hi dear Ashwin, with lots of love, please leave my lovely CSK family.” Ashwin, who took just 7 wickets in 9 games and scored only 33 runs this season, admitted that he didn’t perform well enough but assured everyone that he is committed to coming back stronger.
“One thing that I can relate to is his love for the franchise. Let’s not make one mistake. When you say something, please make sure that you’re doing it in your best interest. I understand what you’re trying to say. I also have the same love and interest. Don’t think that I’m going to let this campaign go to waste. What I have in my controllables. If you give the ball in my hand, I will bowl, if you give bat, then I will bat. I have put in a lot of hard work, and there are areas which I can work on, which I know very clearly. In the powerplay, I have given away many runs. To bowl in the powerplay, I have to create more options next year. This is the best I can do,” Ashwin said.
“I have the best interest of the team, and I love the team way more than all of you. I was with the team in 2009 and 2010. I have played for 7 years. I have qualified with CSK for the playoffs in the past. I have won the title. So, when I see a champion like this, I feel sad for the first time. I feel sad for that. That’s why I’m sitting in a corner and crying. What to do next? This is my goal,” he added.

This was Ashwin’s first IPL season since retiring from international cricket during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia. It also marked his much-anticipated return to CSK, where he had hoped to make a strong impact.
