I had not seen the trophy before and when I actually saw it, I was very pleased&rdquo;,&nbsp;<span style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\">Ashwin said,<\/span><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSince its establishment in 1961, 47 Indian cricketers have so far received the Arjuna Award.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&ldquo;When I started playing cricket, I didn&rsquo;t even know that the Arjuna Award exists. When I received it, I realized how far I have come from where I started.&nbsp;I got this award because of my contributions as an Indian cricketer and my passion for the game. I love the game of cricket. I just want to improve every day as a cricketer and serve my country to the best of my abilities. I would like to think of this award as a part of that process,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>with inputs from BCCI Website<\/p>\r\n",
