Ravichandran Ashwin, who retired from international cricket on Wednesday, dropped a video encapsulating some of his magical moments on the field.
'The love we give away is the only love we keep,' Ashwin captioned a video posted on his X feed.
The video, incorporated a part of Ashwin's statement at the post-match press conference where he also thanked Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara for taking catches off his bowling.
'I have created a lot of memories alongside Rohit and several of my other teammates, even though I have lost some of them (from the India side) over the last few years,' Ashwin said of his contemporaries at the press meet.
'We're the last bunch of OGs, if we can say that, left out in the dressing room, and I will be marking this as my date of having played at this level.'
Ashwin retires from the game as the second highest wicket-taker for India in Tests with 537 scalps in 106 games, leaving him only behind Anil Kumble (619 wickets).
Ashwin, who will return home on Thursday, also evolved into a decent Test all-rounder, hitting six hundreds in the format.
