Ravichandran Ashwin's surprise retirement midway through the India-Australia series, PM Narendra Modi wrote a letter to the star cricketer acknowledging and thanking him for his phenomenal services to cricket. «As you bid farewell to international cricket, jersey number 99 will be sorely missed. Cricket lovers will miss the sense of expectation they felt when you took to the crease to bowl — there was always a feeling that you were weaving a web around the opponents which would trap a victim any moment. You possessed an uncanny ability to outwit batsmen with good old off-spin as well as innovative variations, as the situation demanded,» the PM wrote. Referencing one of the iconic weapons from the off-spin great's legendary bag of tricks, PM Modi said the shock announcement by Ashwin felt like a «carrom ball that bowled everyone».

Ravichandran Ashwin retired from international cricket on Wednesday, leaving big boots to fill in the Indian Test team. If Ashwin's father, Ravichandran, is to be believed, the cricketer's retirement had more to do than him having finished with cricket. In interview with CNN News18, Ravichandran has alleged that his son was constantly being humiliated which may have contributed to him announcing his retirement midway through India’s ongoing tour of Australia. Even Ashwin's father was caught by surprise with the spinner's decision.

Ashwin, who retired from international cricket on Wednesday, said he will try and play cricket for as long as he can. The statement came while he was interacting with the media upon returning to Chennai on Thursday. The off-spinner was picked up by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 9.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He also captains Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League and won the title this year. «I am going to play for CSK and don't be surprised if I try and aspire to play for as long as I can. I don't think Ashwin the cricketer is done, I think Ashwin the Indian cricketer has probably called it time. That's it,» said the Indian great.

The timing is not shocking; Ashwin is 38 years old. The space is not unusual; Ashwin misses more Tests than he plays in countries such as Australia. But time and space taken together as one construct, the basis for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity – which Ashwin the engineer will only be too familiar with – ensure that there will be more questions than answers, in this case. The conspiracy theorists will insist that it was the insult of being repeatedly left out of the Test team that pushed Ashwin over the edge. The pragmatists will point to the fact that Washington Sundar’s emergence has ensured that his senior colleague isn’t even an automatic second choice spinner when playing in Australia, England, South Africa or New Zealand. The inner circle in cricket will remind the world that only a player truly knows when he or she is finally done.

Ravichandran Ashwin sparred with his insecurities as a child for far too long and perhaps didn't want to be dragged into a rigmarole of insecurities once again. It is for this reason that an abrupt retirement from international cricket would not seem out of the blue for anyone who has followed the man's journey. It could have happened in Sydney after the fifth Test against Australia but he didn't want to hang around. No one had to tell him that it was time to walk away from the game that consumed nearly three decades of his 38-year-old existence. Ashwin, the straight-shooter, did a cameo presser to let the world know in John Denver style «My bags are packed and I am ready go». He wore many hats as an active international cricketer and it would take just a five-minute conversation with him would be enough to know that he can see through word salad quite easily.

Rohit Sharma is the first to admit that his recent batting form has been below par but he continues to «feel good» about his game, providing him hope for the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit, who did not play the series opener in Perth due to the birth of his second child, has managed scores of 3, 6 and 10 on the tour. His return to the middle-order after six years to accommodate KL Rahul at the top has made the task even more challenging for him. Following the drawn Test at the Gabba, Rohit made an honest assessment of his batting Down Under. «I have not batted well. There's no harm in accepting that. But I know what's in my mind, how I'm preparing myself. All those boxes are very much ticked. It's just about spending as much time as possible, which I'm pretty sure I'm just there,» Rohit said in the post match press conference.

Rohit Sharma before his surprise international retirement, refusing to let anyone else write his script after 14 years of service to the game. It is understood that retirement was on his mind after the home series against New Zealand, which India shockingly lost 0-3. He had made it clear to the team management that if he was not guaranteed a place in the playing eleven during the Australia series, he would not even travel Down Under. India played Washington Sundar ahead of Ashwin in Perth before the veteran returned for the pink ball Test, at Rohit's insistence. Ravindra Jadeja played in the Brisbane Test and as Rohit stated after the drawn third Test in Gabba, nobody knew how the squad would shape up for the remaining two games in Melbourne and Sydney.
