I Have the Streets is an autobiography written by R. Ashwin along with Sidharth Monga. Ashwin anna is one of the greatest and most intelligent cricketers of our time. This book traces his life journey right from his young age and gives us a deep look into the person behind the cricketer.
From a very young age, Ashwin faced health issues. For a sportsperson, dealing with health problems can be a major challenge. But Ashwin fought those challenges with strong mental toughness and went on to create many records in cricket history. That itself is deeply inspiring.
Ashwin’s passion for cricket is clearly visible throughout the book. He was ready to play cricket anywhere—especially street cricket, which brought him immense joy and fun. Those street cricket moments shaped his love for the game and his understanding of it.
In this book, Ashwin talks about many important aspects of his life—his parents, family, friends, the support of his life partner, fellow great cricketers, and both his good and dark moments. During his darkest phases, the support from his parents played a huge role in helping him move forward. The support of his parents and grandfather stood as the main pillars of his career.
Despite facing major obstacles, Ashwin achieved remarkable success through mental toughness and the strong backing of his parents, family, and friends. He has created numerous records and left a lasting mark in cricket history. Thank you Ashwin for writing this book.
I strongly recommend this book to all sportspersons—and especially to parents of young athletes. It helps us understand how crucial mental strength, family support, and belief are in building a successful sporting career.
