He asked Ashwin about his performance, to which the tweaker was frank in saying that he was not happy as he had taken just one wicket.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To this, Srikanth gave a fitting reply: \u201cFor me to select you in the Indian cricket team, you need to give me five wickets every single game for me to say that you\u2019re good enough to play in the Indian cricket team. It\u2019s not about knowing that you are good enough, you have to show me that you are good enough,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ashwin had no words to say, and he simply replied back with, \u201cYes sir\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Post this, Srikkanth did something that baffled one and all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Ashwin was holding a bowl of sambar, Srikkanth picked up a cigar, said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry things will change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Srikkanth then proceeded to smoke the cigar and dump it in Ashwin\u2019s bowl of sambar.
