Ashwin has now come out in defense of the call taken. Ashwin asks what if he did not get the runs he was expected to against Ireland.

Ashwin Makes Sense

"Let's say Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was given his debut against Ireland, but he played and failed in these two matches, would this (narrative) be reversed? In all honesty, everything would be reversed. Everyone would say, 'Vaibhav Sooryavanshi can hit in the IPL, but he can't play in seaming, sporting conditions'," Ashwin said, speaking on his YouTube channel.
