Senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed he had given serious thought about retiring after the England series in 2018 as he felt he was not being adequately backed despite being a proven match-winner for the Indian team.
Anil Kumble was also keen to retain Ashwin, who captained the side in the previous two editions.
Mumbai Indians spinner Pragyan Ojha credits Anil Kumble for his good showing in the IPL his season.
'Only those who were part of the 6 straight losses for RCB would know the importance of this.'
