Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket

Yeah I dont recall anyone here doing that as India fans.

Well maybe Shri, but well, its Shri.

I was pretty specifically thinking of Shri when I made the post.

I also feel sad because I do think ashwin has more left in the tank than Rohit and Virat but the nature of Indian cricket is that batters are simply way overvalued and celebrated and treated with kid gloves compared to bowlers.

When it’s time to go, it’s time to go. And Ashwin looked cooked. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s a champion cricketer, one of the greatest to play the game and a top five Indian cricketer.

They didn't retire during Australia "tour". They retired during/after home series. They are probably thinking 2011-12 but can't be bothered to double check.

Year maybe wrong but there is definitely a pattern
