Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ravichandran Ashwin, India (on whether there has been any disruption caused by Virat Kohli abusing a journalist)

"Honestly, I do not know what's happened. It's definitely not in my jurisdiction. I do not know what's happened. I'm very honest about it. I do not know what's happened. Having said that going forward in tomorrow's game, I think we'll give it the best and see how it goes."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ravichandran Ashwin, India (on team's relationship with media)

"Media here are here to support us. It's very heartening to see the media turn up in so many huge numbers and try to support us. But I mean, this is my take on it. I think the media has a responsible way of taking cricket back home in a responsible fashion, taking cricket to the public in the way it needs to be taken. There are times when I'm not happy with that, but that's my opinion. But there are other times when you support the players and it's very important to take the game forward."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ravichandran Ashwin, India (on bowling to Chris Gayle and batsmen like him)

"It's not just Chris Gayle, it's any other batsman in World Cricket. Anybody who attacks wants to put you off your hook. It's similar. I'm content to look at the wicket and I go strongly for getting wickets off any batsman that I think is dangerous because I like it. I like to throw myself in the middle and try to see how much I can make an impact in that particular game. Be it Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers anybody. I look to get them out in the middle. Once you get them out, the game is going to clear the way."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ravichandran Ashwin, India (on a possible quarter final opponent)

"I don't think we're there. There are three games and Ireland's also played good cricket. We're pretty aware of what's happening around us in the group. It's very important that we take it one game at a time. It's not just even going into the quarters and semis. It's going to be the biggest game that's going to get you through to the finals, semis or whatever it is. We like to treat every game like it's a knockout game so that it propels us in a good state."
