Welcome with applause in the dressing room Ashwin was welcomed with applause by his teammates like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant in the Indian dressing room. Here Ashwin said, ‘I don’t know what to say about this. To be honest, it is easier to interact with the team on the field. Even though I am not performing it, it is really a very emotional moment for me.
Ashwin said- ‘It feels like when I came here in 2011-12, my first Australian tour, I have seen everyone going through a period of change. I saw that Rahul (Dravid) bhai left, Sachin (Tendulkar) paaji left, but trust me friends, everyone’s time comes and today is my time to go.
Main points of Ashwin…
- The last four-five years of international cricket was the time when I made some special relationships.
- I’ve enjoyed it a lot, made some great relationships and friends over the last four-five years and I’m leaving behind some of my mates who were playing (with me).
- With each passing year in the last four-five years, I have realized how much I value their relationship and how much I value them as players.
- If you guys need anything I will be available at just a phone call away. Once again thank you very much, Rohit. Thank you, Virat, thank you, Gauti Bhai.
