Ravichandran Ashwin's father was taken by surprise at his son's sudden retirement from international cricket, hinting that he may have felt humiliated. What do you think?
'Stay sharp, look sharper,' SKY captioned the pictures posted on his Instagram handle.
'He pursued it, practised hard at it and continued to look for new things as his career progressed, to keep up with the times.'
Key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja are expected to consider stepping away from the Test format to make way for a new generation of talent.
The Rohit Sharma-led team has two Tests left in Australia, and their fate is still in their hands.
'I was rooting for you to break my record.'
'A Legend Bids Adieu to International Cricket.'
Ashwin acknowledged the emotional turmoil he was experiencing, despite his calm demeanour.
Ashwin's legacy, marked by his intellect and dominance on the field, will resonate for years to come.
By avoiding the follow-on and standing firm against Australia's aggression, India ensured that they stayed alive in the series.
'The love we give away is the only love we keep,' Ashwin captioned a video posted on his X feed.
With 765 international scalps in his bag, Ashwin is the second-highest wicket-taker from India after Anil Kumble.
The 38-year-old was brief while announcing that Wednesday marked his last day as an international cricketer.
'I do feel there's a bit of punch left in me as a cricketer, but I would like to ... showcase that in club level cricket.'
Under Kohli, Ashwin played 55 Tests and took a massive 293 wickets at an average of 22.13.
