Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket, leaving behind an illustrious career celebrated by cricket legends and Bollywood stars.
Moments after the rain-marred Brisbane Test ended in a draw, India’s star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Wednesday shocked the cricketing world by announcing his immediate retirement from international cricket, midway through the Border-Gavaskar series.
Continuing from where he left in the first innings, Jadeja, who took a fifer on day 1, once again tormented the Kiwi batters on a crumbling surface which according to his long-time spin twin Ashwin was slower than expected.
In seven innings at this venue in Tests, Ashwin now has two hundreds and another fifty-plus score.
Recalling his interaction with Gambhir during his first full Test series for India in 2012, Ashwin revealed that the opening batter was one of the very few from outside his home state of Tamil Nadu to give him a lot of confidence as a new-comer.
Chappell also feels that India should have Hardik Pandya in the Test side when they travel to Australia later this year.
Kohli said it was one of a string of innings he had at the time which gave him the confidence of doing well against any bowling attack in the world.
Kohli also felt that the restrictions that come with fame is higher today than it was for stars before him because of the proliferation of social media.
Srikkanth had backed Virat Kohli during his initial day as a selector.
Rohit revealed during his interaction with Ashwin that it was former Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh who advised him to make the most of his opportunity as an opener and try and hit a big hundred.
