[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Ravichandran Ashwin announces retirement from international cricket [Update@ Post# 1376]

Fantastic career. He can be proud of himself for all the achievements he has had over the years.

Very selfish and unprofessional to do this in the middle of the series when the series is still on the line. It creates unnecessary controversy on the team. He should have waited till the end of the series.

That's an unexpected and weird decision to announce retirement in the middle of the series. He should have waited until the series was finished.

Zero controversy there. He decided even at Perth Test. They let him play at Adelaide oval. He is not one of those guys who accuse fellow players of anything. If anything he has excellent chemistry with everyone in the team. when his mother was serious during England series Rohit volunteerily told him to rush. And BCCI arranged a private jet to fly him. He spoke in length appreicating the gesture of Rohit and BCCI. Only fans feel that he deserves a proper last test farewell. Otherwise he has no complaints, regrets. The person (Sundar) who is going to take over is from the same state as Ashwin. He will be 10 times more happy for him.
 
There's something fishy here, maybe this is to deviate attention from the pressure on Rohit/Kohli, so Ashwin is made some kind of scapegoat (or rather turn the critics blind). Rohit/Kohli retiring from tests at this point may even disturb their chances in ODIs...
 
One of the biggest match winner of all-time.

Nobody dominated batsmen more than Ashwin did in conditions like India, Sri Lanka and West Indies.
 
Don't understand this decision at all. Definitely something happened behind the scenes after the Adelaide defeat.

We could have easily played him at the SCG and he should
definitely have been given the well deserved farewell Test in Chennai next year.

Indian test season is a year away. Probably he didn't want to wait that long.

I hope he takes the mic.

yes. He is 38. His body is giving up on him. Apart from the fact he deserved a farewell test i think he has timed it correctly. You would want to retire when people think you still have something to offer. Not like KOhli and Rohit.
 
Good riddance.

Ashwin, Jadeja, Laxman, Dhoni( As a test and t20 batsmen, goat captain and goat odi batter), Anil Kumble are the penta frauds of Indian cricket.

Real fans will know that barring obvious all time greats like Sunny, Sachin, kohli, Bumrah etc

The true boys and ambassadors of India are Ghambir, Sehwag, Dhawan etc etc.

If I was a cricketer and played on Indian grounds my whole life, I'd easily be >>>>> Ashwin as a bowler, Jadeja as an allrounder, Laxman as a test batter and Dhoni as a t20 cricketer.
 
Top bloke, a champion cricketer, a true match winner, and an Indian ATG without a shadow of doubt. Go well, legend!!
 
Ashwin should have retired in India, ideally during the Chennai Test. Few players have the privilege of retiring on their own terms and at their peak, especially in India. The BCCI should have shown more respect for this gesture. Now, this could lead to Rohit and Kohli claiming that they cannot retire at this time, as it might weaken the Indian Test team, potentially delaying their own retirements by another year. :inti
 
It was expected. They mentioned after NZ series, questions will be asked.

Ashwin was the first one as he is oldest and replacements already available in overseas tests.

Rohit should follow at the end of the series.

Question is whether Kohli wants to play beyond Aus tour or he too will quit?

Jadeja can stay for an year or more.

The ones who should have retired are shamelessly going on and on.

Doesn't matter, he should still have waited till the end of the series. Now everyone will be commenting on how unfairly poorly he was treated by the team management which forced him to do this in the middle of the series. Team interests must over ride personal considerations
 
This is some emotional stuff. Ashwin’s parents should be proud of raising a fine man. You’re a hero Ashwin bhai. Absolute champion and a gem of a person. Look at all the players in the dressing room. Too much respect and that big brother vibe. The dressing room has lost a leader and a brother.

Unlike lot of active cricketers he is an active cricket fan. He follows every Test match that is going around. He always paid handsome tributes to all the rival cricketers.

Kudos to him and his parents for raising such a thorough gentleman.

You won’t get the visa, but like seriously, let it go dude. There are times for stuff and whether or not you rate someone as a good player, you always acknowledge their accomplishments and contributions to the game, especially at a time when they retire from the game.
Not sure what has consumed you, but I have lost a lot of respect for you as a poster that I used to have. I hope you will mature as you grow up. Anyway, I have said what I needed to.

I've said what I have to say.

Ashwin, Laxman, Dhoni (As test and t20 batter), Anil kumble, jadeja are the 4 biggest frauds of Indian cricket.

For pakistan it's babar, Rizwan, Misbah, Asad. Excluding match fixers and chuckers ofcourse.

Furthermore I have zero respect for a guy who's orchestrated Mankad's and had a rubbish attitude towards the game.

This whole gentlemen nonsense is bogus, This guy has literally picked fights. It's just someone like siraj makes him look like an angel.

I've said what I have to say. If you don't agree with me that's fine. But he is not a good cricketer or a fine gentlemen.

Indian posters float way too many narratives around, the bumrah thread has turned into a joke which is funny cause bumrah is my 2nd favourite cricketer atm.

Furthermore all these Indian cricketer hooligans and their fans celebrating a draw and making such rubbish comments. Made me lose respect for the team and any poster who supports this rubbish.

This is a far cry from the classic Indian team that was full of sportsmen ship and wouldn't accept defeats or draws and would aim for the win.

Atm India is filled with rubbish attitudes and it's reflected by their posters, fans, players etc.

Bumrah is the only exception, Everyone else attitude wise is a joke.
 
Genuine question for all Indian posters? Why should I respect someone for running away and retiring?

We all know he retired because after getting bashed in aus for the Millionth time, it's clear he was done overseas and would be replaced for jadeja.

Furthermore he retired before the BGT concluded?

All I see is a coward retirement from a salty man who couldn't handle the fact that he got replaced for overseas tours.

No thread pollution.

I'm a minority on this thread who is voicing my opinion.

I haven't attacked anyone, pinged anyone or mentioned anyone.

I'm free to voice my opinion. I take no offence to people and other Indian posters praising him(Ashwin)

So don't take offence and ping me with stuff such as I lost all respect for you or I hope you grow up.

Ping yourself please.

My voice on Ashwin is clear but this voice isn't asking for passive insults from others.

You have already shared it. You don't have to do it every few minutes unless it is a tribute. If you really don't like him you won't bother responding to this thread. As you probably understand nobody cares what you think about an Indian legend and ATG. Nobody cares if you rate him or not. So not sure what is the point of repeatedly sharing the same post every few posts.
 
Ashwin isn't a bad bowler. But ATG is just insane.

The same Indian posters who critise Warner for being a htb test bully praise ashwin like he's the macies parade. And now we have gentlemen narratives.

He's no different then sajid kham and noman. Had pcb been a competent board, then sajid khan and noman would have been certified uae and Spin pitch bullied but would have gotten butchered in aus, sa etc etc.

Ashwin is just a replica of sajid khan and noman with the exception that unlike those 2, he got the opportunity to play for nearly 11 years.

And those Mankads + attitude problems, Good grief.

He didn't get humilated and dropped from touring Australia half his career.

Our Pakistani players saw this and shed tears, not for Ashwin but that there was a cake being cut without them.
 
Regardless of personal opinions, Ashwin was a formidable cricketer, both with ball and bat. As a non indian, he was always a thorn in my side as he could swing a match in his favour in a matter of a few overs. Sad to see him retiring, especially in the middle of a tour. He and kumble were truly gifted players..Salute champ..enjoy your life post cricket! 🏏

I don't care. I don't like ashwin. In the same way some Indian posters make it a need to bash miandad into oblivion.

Yet I dont see you guys jumping into defend. Do insults on tribute threads only apply to pakistani posters and threads?

As I said hypocrisy, which I call out.

If you guys were genuinely nice people, who followed the rules and didn't repeat this behaviour I'd be the first to apologise however don't act innocent.

I'm.not saying you're the guy who commits this but your fellow cohorts 100% do.

I did not argue about Ashwin with you. I just mentioned thread pollution alert as you seemed to be spamming the thread with same opinion. You responded. I replied.
 
Apart from his red ball greatness he was very good in white ball tournaments too.

Was integral part of both the 2011 and 2013 winning teams (underrated spell vs Aus in QF in 11, great spell in 13 CT final).
 
Sunil Gavaskar shared his thoughts on R. Ashwin's sudden announcement, suggesting that Ashwin could well have been a part of the fifth and final Test of the series in Sydney, if not the Boxing Day Test, the fourth of the series, in Melbourne:

“Even say that, look, after the end of the series, I won't be available for India, because what it does—similarly, even when Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired at the end of the third Test almost nine, ten years ago—it actually leaves you one short. A selection committee has picked so many players for a tour with a purpose so that, you know, if there are any injuries, etc., they can rely on the reserve players to step in. Sydney is somewhere everybody talks about as having a lot of help for spinners, so he could have played with two spinners. You never know; India could have played with two spinners, and he would have been there for sure. I'm not sure about Melbourne—what the pitch looks like or whatever. But yes, normally, you tend to sort of say, look, at the end of the series, that's it. But in the middle, it is not usual,”

“In fact, the captain just now said as well that he's flying out tomorrow, which means that, you know, that's it—that's the end of Ashwin as an international cricketer. And like you said, he's been one heck of a cricketer,” he added.

Sunil is spot on here. What if Jadeja gets injured and India wants to play two spinners?

I don't see the point in half way series announcing retirement. Good luck to Ashwin, but he should have waited 15 days more after being selected for Aus tour.

Anyway, all LHB can relax now.
 
One of the finest test players to come from Asia. His impact towards the game was phenomenal. Many players will come, perform in 1 series and then fade away in 3-4 years. Ashwin won 11 player of series award and in a little over 100 tests which depicts his greatness in Test cricket.

530+ test wickets at avg of 24 and 3500 runs with bat at avg of 26 are simply phenomenal numbers and there is a reason why he was one of the nominations of test player of the decade 2010-2019. His numbers only went upwards in 2020s except the last few months. Phenomenal cricketer and a lower tier ATG atleast.
 
LEGEND!!

The greatest spinner to come out of India, I rate him higher than Kumble.

For me the ranking for Indian spinners is:

Ashwin
Chandrasekhar
Kumble
Bishan
Prasanna
Gupte
Jadeja
Harbhajan


Indian has truly been the country of spinners, hopefully K Yadav takes this forward.

With all due respect, since I don't wish to fight.

Ashwin isn't a good cricketer. If you believe he is, then so is Warner(in test cricket?).

He's the definition of a HTB and so is Anil Kumble. And harbajan was an obvious chucker with his full sleeve bend nonsense.

No atg spinner no matter what the conditons are get dropped overseas.

Ashwin is no different from sajid khan and Noman Ali operating on those doctored 10 day pitches.

Bumrah is genuinely the only good quality bowler to be produced from india. Infact Bumrah is the no 1 all format bowler of all time. In pdi and test cricket hed comfortably behind legends like wasim and mcgrath but more wickets will have him reach that caliber soon enough.

Needs to produce better killer icc knockout spells which he sucks at, and improve test record against NZ.

Otherwise he checks all criteria. Ashwin is a fraud. He's good don't get me wrong, but his skills are just sajid khan and noman level operating on spin minefields.

He did well in Australia. He was one of the reason why we won MCG test. Took key wickets. Plus he saved the test with his batting at the SCG. In SOuth Africa 99% of the wickets fell to seamers in India matches. They made sure they didn't play at Durban. Other pitches were made sure there was no purchase for 5 days.

Ashwin's father seems to insinuate the obvious, that Ashwin retired because he felt humiliated with the way he was treated.

Ravi Ashwin's father, during an interaction with the local media, said:

"I also learned about it at the last minute."

"I don't know what was going through his head. He just made the announcement. I gladly took it, as well. I had no sensation about it. But the way he announced his retirement made me happy in one way and unhappy in another because he should have kept on."

"(Retiring) is his (Ashwin's) wish and desire; I cannot interfere with that; but, the manner in which he expressed it could be for a variety of reasons. Only Ashwin knows; maybe humiliation."

To which Ravi Ashwin replied in a tweet:

7K077XL.jpg
 
Ashwin the player has retired. Ashwin the fan will never retire. He will follow domestic, other leagues, other internationals just like us. He is definitely a treasure for cricket. Adios legend.
 
A top cricketer and a very decent guy. We owe our 12 year unbeaten home streak to him.

Unfortunately a random cabbie living in Australia has ruined this thread.
 
One of the very few Indian players that I like and respect. He seems like a really nice guy and had an amazing career. Wish him all the best for the future.

What his critics need to understand is that the reason why Jadeja was preferred over Ashwin is his batting skills which was no doubt better than Ashwin.

Purely on bowling, Ashwin has always been a better bowler. Now when the sample is 2-3 games in any specific country, Jadeja may average better than Ashwin like in Australia. But put Jadeja in all those games which Ashwin played and as a lone spinner, his numbers would hurt too. The only advantage that Jadeja would give is he can score runs consistently while for Ashwin, the run scoring is more occasional.

Even you play Nathan Lyon and in Australian conditions against good teams like India, he hasn't done that well in most of the venues. In this series itself, his role wasn't much up till now so obviously he is not gonna be effective. It is down to venue and conditions. There has to be something in it for spinners otherwise most will fail.

Jadeja and Sundar are no doubt better batters so can be preferred for better balance in case the role of spin is minimal.
