    "editor1": "<p><strong>Chennai, April 27:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes if a bowler wants to be successful in overseas conditions then apart from being a good craftsman, he needs a bit of luck to be on his side as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin is regarded as one of the finest spinners ever to wear the Indian jersey in the longest format but there is a clear daylight difference between his form on home conditions and on foreign soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin -- who holds the record for fastest 250, 300 and 350 (joint fastest) Test wickets -- struggled to reach his own high standards on India&#39;s latest tours of South Africa, England and Australia. Fitness issues haven&#39;t been kind either as the tweaker missed one Test in England in 2018 and three matches Down Under in the 2018\/19 series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The number of games that I have managed to win for my country and myself... the number of successes that I have had...the excellence that I have shown is measured up in equal parlance when I travel abroad,&quot; Ashwin told Sanjay Manjrekar during an ESPNcricinfo video chat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I would like to achieve the same wherever I go. And increasingly the number of games that I have played in England, I have realised that for a spinner to be bowling in alien conditions and repeat same numbers, you need to be bowling in all the possible right times in the game. Secondly you need a little bit of luck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There are opportunities that I have missed. I have been anyway very critical of myself and I feel even I have been very harsh on myself in those conditions seeing what people are talking. We don&#39;t know when we will get back to cricket and when we will travel abroad but I feel my best days are still lying ahead,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 33-year-old has so far played 71 Tests, 111 ODIs and 46 T20Is in which he has scalped 365, 150 and 52 wickets respectively.<\/p>\r\n",
