On the cusp of completing 100 Tests, India's premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on March 5 said he would not have become the bowler that he is now without the learnings from an underwhelming home series against England in 2012, at the end of which he was a "bit nervy".
That series loss remains India's last defeat at home and Ashwin's performance in the four-match rubber left a lot to be desired as the likes of Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen played him with ease.
Twelve years later, Ashwin looked back at the turning point of his remarkable career, which now features 507 Test wickets.
