So, on his birthday, take a look at a few of his motivational and inspiring quotes:

- Mathematical thinking does not only mean that children solve mathematical questions, but this is also a way of thinking.

- I would request parents not to make the achievements of their child a matter of social prestige. Every child is blessed with unique talents.

- Hard work never brings fatigue. It brings satisfaction.

- You should never be afraid of nature because when we think that we are in conflict with nature is when the problem starts.

- Mahatma Gandhi never compromised on cleanliness. He gave us freedom. We should give him a clean India.

- A son of a poor man is standing in front of you today. This is the strength of a democracy.

- If 125 crore people work together; India will move forward 125 crore steps.

- Whatever profession you are in, if you have to bring efficiency in your profession then mental and physical fitness is important…whoever is fit touches the sky. If the body is fit, the mind is hit.

- It was never about a person, It was always about a nation

- Youth of India – Not just new age voters, But the new age power!

India's legendary bowler Ravichandran Ashwin is celebrating his 35th birthday today. Very few people know that Ravichandran Ashwin's first love was not cricket, but he used to play football. It is said that being a good saddle, he can do better in football, although it was only a coincidence that made Ashwin into cricket. Ashwin's mother Chitra was very strict about her studies. But both parents never stopped Ashwin from playing cricket. Once, in an interview, Ashwin's mother had said, "We never compromised on studies and Ashwin also showed maturity and accepted the decision.''

Ashwin not only brought glory to India with bowling but also batted brilliantly in the lower order. Well, there is a reason behind it. In fact, he used to be an opener at the beginning of cricket and facing a new ball early in his career has strengthened his technique considerably. He suffered an injury in his early career that is why Ashwin reduced his focus on batting. At the age of 14, he suffered an injury in the Pelvic area and remained in bed for two months. He later started focusing on bowling instead of batting.

Ashwin is at the forefront of the list of Indian bowlers who have taken 50, 100 and 150 wickets at the fastest pace in Test cricket. Ashwin was awarded the Arjuna Award in 2014. At the same time, in 2012-13, he was awarded the BBCI's best cricketer of the year title. Talking about personal life, Ashwin married his childhood friend Preeti Narayanan in 2011 and is now the father of two girls.

Ravichandran Ashwin shot up to fame in 2010 when playing for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. He stunned the cricketing world with his economical bowling and several variations he could produce with the ball. The right-arm off-break bowler was good with the bat too and has played decisive roles for India in the international forums. As Ravichandran Ashwin celebrates his 35th birthday, let us take a look at some of the bowling records he holds that are just too good to believe.

1. Ashwin in Tests:
There are no parallels when it comes to Ravichandran Ashwin’s records in test matches. He is the fastest Indian bowler to reach the 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350-wicket mark in terms of number of innings. In 2012, playing in just his ninth game, he reached the milestone of taking 50 wickets, which was the fastest for any Indian before him. In February 2017, he became the fastest to reach 250 wickets after dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim of Bangladesh. Again, in November same year, he reached the mark of 300 – another record.


2. Ashwin in T20 Internationals:
Ravichandran Ashwin is the first Indian to breach the 50-wicket mark in T20 Internationals. His record is still intact.

3. Ashwin – the All-Rounder:
Ravichandran Ashwin became the first Indian to take five wickets and score a century in the same Test match, on two separate occasions. The first time it came in 2011 while playing against West Indies. He did it again in November 2013, against the same team.

4. Man of the Match and Man of the Series:
Believe it or not, Ravichandran Ashwin was the Man of the Match on his debut. He was the third Indian to achieve that. And in August 2016, he surpassed Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, when he grabbed his sixth Man-of-the-Series Award in just his thirteenth Test series.


5. Ashwin tops ICC Rankings:
Ravichandran Ashwin along with Ravindra Jadeja, became the first spinner-duo to jointly rank as the top bowlers in ICC Test Rankings history. In 2016, Ashwin won the ICC Cricketer of the Year award. He was only the third Indian to do so
