Proud moment: World Cup winner Ravichandran Ashwin being felicitated by his alma mater SSN College of Engineering
Ravichandran Ashwin belongs to a select breed of cricketers who also happen to be engineers by education. Being an off-spinner from Chennai and also an engineering graduate has often led to comparisons with former India captain Srinivas Venkataraghavan, and Ashwin went some way in justifying such high praise by being a part of the Indian team that claimed the ICC World Cup this April.
On Tuesday, Ashwin's alma mater, SSN College of Engineering, felicitated the cricketer on his achievement, presenting with a memento while the chairman of HCL Corporation and founder of SSN, Shiv Nadar felicitated Ashwin through teleconferencing.
Accepting the honour, Ashwin said that he was deeply touched by the gesture and while the honour meant a lot, being felicitated by his own college amidst an audience of college mates, Ashwin said, was ‘a proud moment.'
