Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the most active players on social media during the Coronavirus-forced lockdown.

Talking to sports broadcaster Radhakrishnan Sreenivasan on The RK Show, Ashwin said he started his Instagram Live series Reminisce with Ash to connect better with his fans and spread some positivity during the lockdown. "When I first started talking on social media, I was talking a lot about the COVID-19 breakout, trying to spread across messages. But somewhere down the line I felt it was spreading a lot of negativity," he said on the show that airs on YouTube every Sunday. Ashwin explained why he has always chosen to speak his mind.
