“I’ve always been stunned to a degree to see how Sanju bats. I used to be such a fan for Rohit. We played along with each other and Rohit is a special player and Sanju is equally special, it’s just that he’s not broken those barriers at the International level yet. I think it’s a matter of time though,” said Ashwin.

Ashwin said that the relationship both the players is similar to that of brothers. He said, “We connect at a basic level. I come from Tamil Nadu while he comes from Kerala, he watches a lot of Tamil movies, he’s a movie buff and so am I. We connect from there. As a South Indian, if you connect from movies, you don’t need a better connection.”
