With Ashwin’s retirement, Virat Kohli is now the only player who won India the 2011 World Cup and is still playing. All the players of this team led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni have now retired, including Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, Manaf. Patel, including veterans. Like Piyush Chawla, Parveen Kumar were involved. In this thrilling final played at the Wankhede Stadium, India defeated Sri Lanka to win the trophy after 28 years.
Ashwin’s decision was shocking.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s mid-series retirement is surprising people. Even when the team relies heavily on him. The five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. After the rain-affected third Test in Brisbane was drawn, the fourth Test will be played in Melbourne from December 26. When Kumble announced his retirement after the third Test in 2008, India were leading the four-match series 1–0. India eventually won the series 2–0.
Gavaskar questioned the decision.Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar criticized Ashwin for retiring mid-series. “They could have said that I will not be available for selection in the Indian team after the series is over,” Gavaskar told the official broadcaster of the series. What does that mean? Mahendra Singh Dhoni similarly retired after the third Test match during the 2014-15 series. This leaves one member less in the team. The selection committee has given one reason for selecting so many players for this tour. If a player is injured, he can select any of the reserve players in the team.
