R Ashwin was a part of Team India’s squad in the Border Gavaskar Trophy being played in Australia. But, he ended his cricket career during the third Test match itself. December 18 was the last day of his cricketing career as an Indian player. Ashwin and his fans will never forget this day.
Ashwin, who made Team India win in difficult situations, will no longer be seen playing in the Indian dressing room and on the field in the Indian jersey. He has made millions of fans teary-eyed with his happy retirement. However, a player has to decide to retire at some point. Ashwin will always be remembered for his brilliant career.
Why did you have to suddenly take the decision of retirement?
At this time, the discussion of R Ashwin’s retirement is in full swing from TV channels to the corridors of cricket. No one had even imagined that he would announce his retirement during the third match of BGT. Because, due to rain, the umpires on the field were discussing to draw the match. On the other hand, Ashwin looked very sad and emotional in the dressing room. No one knew what was going on in his mind.
Kohli himself said that he came to know about his retirement some time ago. In such a situation, the question arises whether Ashwin was happy with not getting a chance. Because, he was not made to play in the first test. He was included in the second test and was seen warming the bench in the third test. He was upset with this and decided to say goodbye to cricket. There are many such questions which only Ashwin himself can answer.
The announcement had to be made because of this player!
If R Ashwin wanted, he could have played the last match as a farewell. But, he had realized that spinners are not going to get a chance on the fast pitches of Australia. Anyway, Ashwin was not getting a place in the playing-11. He would have been seen giving water in the next 2 matches as well. However, there could have been a chance for him. If sources are to be believed, if Ravindra Jadeja had not scored 77 runs, Ashwin could have got a chance to play.
In such a situation, Jadeja has ensured his place in the team on the basis of this innings. Rohit Sharma also likes to play Jadeja as a spinner. Because, he is successful in giving India a breakthrough by bowling continuously on one pitch. This must be the reason why Ashwin must have thought that if he cannot be replaced in the team, then why not retire.
