Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India’s greatest ever, has decided to call it time. 106 Tests, 537 wickets and 3503 runs - his contributions to Indian cricket are far greater than just what those incredible numbers suggest and he leaves behind a tremendous legacy and massive boots to fill. He was the spearhead during India’s ascent to the top and eventual domination in Test cricket between 2014 and 2019. He was an absolute behemoth in home-conditions and a key contributor while travelling. Not just with the ball mind you but also with more than useful contributions with the bat. For years, Ashwin led India’s spin attack and provided stability, balance and solidity to the lineup.
Congratulations to him. Play IPL and enjoy the rest of the time.
