Ravichandran Ashwin Retirement Fans Reaction: There was an atmosphere of joy and sometimes sadness for the Indian fans when Team India showed a fighting performance and drew the Gabba Test and on the other hand, Team India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (Ravichandran Ashwin Retirement from All Format) announced his retirement. Granted, many legends in the sports world have announced their retirement, but this style of Ashwin’s retirement has surprised both the fans and the cricket pundits, because of the rain. After the match was decided to be a draw, a picture came out from the Indian dressing room in which Ashwin was seen talking to Virat Kohli and the next moment Virat turned back and hugged Ashwin.

Generally any player is seen emotional at the time of announcing his retirement but those are called tears of happiness which were not seen in the case of Ashwin. After this, there was speculation among the fans as to why Ashwin was looking so sad despite the end of such an illustrious career.

From the dressing room to the press conference with captain Rohit Sharma, Ashwin constantly looked as if he was not happy with his own decision or something was going on in his mind, such a discussion is also because there was a joint press conference with captain Rohit Sharma. Ashwin said in the conference, “I will not take much of your time.” This is my last day as a cricketer of the Indian team.” After this he refused to take any questions and left after making the announcement. 38 year old Ashwin took one wicket while playing the pink ball test in Adelaide.
Shocked at former selector and spinner Sarandeep Singh’s retirement
“I am surprised how they have suddenly taken this decision. I can’t believe it. I think there is something behind Ashwin’s retirement that we don’t know. But I would say that right now there is no need to replace Ashwin.” There is no spinner.
The former Indian spinner further said, “There is no spinner in India at the domestic or international level who can replace R Ashwin. This decision is shocking. More things will be known in a few days.” Taking his point further, the former Indian spinner said, Ashwin’s sudden retirement is beyond my understanding. It is not a common thing that a player like Ashwin should be kept in high regard. If you look at Ashwin’s record, he has performed so amazingly. I am surprised.”
Happy retirement Ravichandran Ashwin Anna. We will miss you a lot ❤️🥺

Ashwin has taken the most 537 wickets for India after Anil Kumble (619 wickets). He will continue playing club cricket. Ashwin arrived with captain Rohit Sharma in the press conference after the third test draw in Brisbane. The expression on the face of Ashwin looked completely different today. Looking at him it was clearly visible how difficult this decision was for him as a player.
