Ravi Ashwin has announced his retirement from Test cricket: Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India's most prolific and successful spinners, may be nearing the end of his illustrious career. This speculation has been fuelled by a touching moment captured on the fifth day of the Gabba Test match in which Ashwin was seen hugging Virat Kohli, which many fans are viewing as a possible farewell gesture.
A picture of Ashwin and Kohli hugging in the dressing room has gone viral on social media. Ashwin looks emotional in the picture, leading fans to believe that this could be the beginning of his retirement announcement. The scene was full of emotions, with some fans saying that Ashwin appeared crying, which indicates that the end is near for the off-spinner.
Ravichandran Ashwin, India's second-highest wicket-taker in Tests, announced his retirement from international cricket on Wednesday. The 38-year-old Ashwin informed about his decision after the conclusion of the third Test between India and Australia in Brisbane. Ashwin, who has 537 wickets in Test cricket, last played during the second Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide.
