Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his retirement from international cricket after India’s draw against Australia in the third Test at the Gabba in Brisbane in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Ashwin’s retirement announcement was on the cards when visuals of Virat Kohli hugging the off-spinner went viral on social media.
The 37-year-old made it official when he accompanied captain Rohit Sharma in the post match press conference. “This is my last day as international cricketer. I have created a lot of memories. We are the last bunch of OGs in the dressing room. Lot of people to thank, BCCI, my fellow teammates, all the coaches,” Ashwin said
