As a gamer who has spent countless hours watching cricket matches and following the careers of my favorite players, I must say that Ravichandran Ashwin‘s retirement from international cricket came as a shock. His performances on the field were nothing short of legendary, and his ability to spin the ball with such precision was truly mesmerizing.
The ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia was disrupted as Ravichandran Ashwin, surprisingly, declared his retirement from international cricket. Ashwin, who did not play in the third test following his appearance in the previous one, made the decision to retire after the end of the match.
Check out this breakdown of the extraordinary choice made by the esteemed Indian spinner that left everyone amazed.
Ashwin announces the news of retirement
Fans looked forward to a thrilling fifth day in the third test of the 2024-25 BGT, but instead received a continuous downpour. The poor weather compelled the umpires to call off play for the day and ultimately declare the match as a draw. The situation worsened for Indian fans when veteran player Ravichandran Ashwin used the post-match conference to announce his retirement from international cricket.
During an interview at the Gabba stadium, the 38-year-old athlete shared that he’s had a blast and created numerous cherished memories with Rohit and many other teammates, despite losing some over the past few years. He referred to their group as the last of the ‘Original Gangsters.’ He acknowledged there are many individuals to thank, but specifically mentioned the BCCI and his fellow teammates. Moreover, he expressed appreciation towards the Australian players for always being tough opponents, according to The Hindu.
14 years after first representing the Indian Cricket Team on an international level, Ravichandran Ashwin has decided to retire from the sport. Throughout his extensive career, this bowling all-rounder garnered significant achievements, including two Asia Cup victories, one ICC Champions Trophy, and the highly coveted Cricket World Cup. Additionally, Ashwin’s impressive 537 wickets in 106 test matches place him second among Indian cricketers and seventh globally for the most wickets taken.
Even though Ashwin has unexpectedly stepped away from the international stage, spectators will get to witness his exceptional bowling talents in the upcoming Indian Premier League, as he will represent the Chennai Super Kings next year.
