WHY DID RAVI ASHWIN RETIRE? I BRETT LEE TV I

[@harikrishnanchandramohan4209]

One of the few cricketers who retired at 38 and still people asked why.

[@CricMicroscope]

true indian mentality does not have a habit of moving on

[@flip.3563]

People are asking questions because he announced his retirement mid series. If it wouldve been in the last match of the series, no one would question. Everyone thinks that there is some politics behind it

[@Rockermania5575]

@@flip.3563, interesting perspective. I wouldn’t rule this one out.

[@Rockermania5575]

I think 38 is quite a decent age to retire. Some people have chosen to not opt for retirement despite being in their 40s. Their participation continually affects their team results and performance.

[@Akash-xb7cd]

Better to retire when people ask 'why' instead of 'when'

From mimicking his carrom ball to witnessing his brilliance #Ashwin's journey has been iconic. There's a saying in sports that 'Retire when people ask why, not when they ask why not?' 🙌🐐

[@shannat4566]

Ashwin was not respected & given proper chances despite his heroic efforts .

[@Rockermania5575]

Highly impactful and a very underrated player.

[@vish6306]

Just 3 months back he was MOS against Bangladesh. Even watching him bowl in his last innings in Adelaide was a treat. He was bowling with a soft ball to well set batsmen and still beating them in flight. If Siraj had caught Travis Head the match might have been closer. His economy of 2.9 was only slightly behind Bumrah while the other bowlers were thrashed. Cummings did not even try to bowl Lyon on this pitch. In spite of his beautiful bowling Ashwin was dropped for Brisbane. Jadeja played and bowled horribly going wicketless for nearly 100 runs at over 4 an over. In this series Ashwin has been the best spinner on view. Washy and Lyon have been ordinary and Jadeja was very poor. Yet it was Ashwin who has been forced to retire. That is how BCCI works with some of their sponsored media claiming his performance was declining! In the meanwhile Rohit and Virat continue to plod along from failure to failure. Clearly one of the leading wicket takers in 2024 has had enough humiliation and called it quits.

[@harshit5803]

Thanks to jadeja for saving the 3rd test match from jaws of defeat. The number 1 allrounder in icc rankings currently

[@vish6306]

@@harshit5803 Even more thanks to Akash Deep for getting the job done since Jadeja left the job unfinished. Rahul was the major saviour. True Jadeja is the number 1 all rounder now. Ashwin has been number 1 or number 2 as well for much of his career. But the discussion is about spin bowling where Jadeja was very poor. His overall contribution in the match was negative since he gave away nearly 100 runs without a wicket and scored 77.

[@harshit5803]

@@vish6306 yes Akash and Rahul contribution cannot be ignored. We also cannot forget the fact that we need someone like jadeja who can take wickets as well as score runs more reliably. He was the highest wicket taker along with Sundar in the last series vs nz. He and Ashwin both have saved India in the last decade in test matches. This was his first test match in aus and he delivered with the bat when needed. That's what is expected from an all rounder. Ashwin took 1 wicket in the last match with pink ball and that could have been the reason team management didn't go with him in 3rd test when the batters are failing consistently. Jadeja's overall contribution is that if he hadn't played that 77 innings with strike rate of 60 plus India would have lost the match. Rain and jadeja saved the match. Both Ashwin and Jadeja are legends of Indian cricket. I think Rohit should retire from test cricket. Also Virat should be dropped. They have been failing for a long time now.

[@vish6306]

@ The point being made here is that Jadeja can play as a batter but Ashwin is a must being the best spinner in the world. But Jadeja bowled poorly in Brisbane and that played a big role in letting Australia get to a huge total of 445 in the first place. He could not contain either with an economy of over 4. Most importantly he never even looked like getting a wicket. He compensated for that with his solid batting. But one must look at a player’s performance as a whole. Similarly one must look at the performance of a wicket keeper batsman both as a wicket keeper and as a batter. Indian fans and the media never do that. Maybe their knowledge of the game is shallow. Rohit and Virat are the real tail enders at number 4 and 6. They are a combined 40 for 6 in the last two tests with an average of 6!

[@harshit5803]

@@vish6306 I always believe Indian national team should be above any player. What matters is whether you win or not. Individual performances doesn't matter when you lose. That's what Australian team is . They punish the players if they don't perform. It doesn't happen here. I also believe any batsman with average of less than 40 shouldn't be selected for playing 11 unless he is young and promising and shows potential of a great future. Even then if he fails to perform after giving some opportunities, he should be dropped. I like the Australian team's mindset of winning every game but not their unethical approach sometimes. We need to develop that kind of mindset that is still missing.

[@Wanderer_1982]

Ashwin's father aptly used the term "humiliation". It is clear that their family members were aware of the circumstances surrounding Ashwin.

[@daddeeandsabotagedson]

Click bait....no explanation of Why he retired.....btw read in an article he retired because he had made a verbal agreement that he would fly to Australia only if he was in the playing 11 and despite that they didn't include him in 1st and 3rd match. Rohit enabled him to play 2nd match. Don't know if it's real but sad loss regardless as he was a great player

I think Ravi was going to pull the pin anyway, but he moved his announcement from the end of the series to now when he found out that he wasn't going to play any further part in the seires v Australia, with Jadeja getting the nod in front of him.

[@davidmccarthy6390]

@@SenthilKumar-pb3nu Could be. They've used all for 1 test each, Let's see who get the nod in Melbourne -Jadeja or Sundar. I think they see Sundar as their future, so he may gets the nod. It'll all come down to who nets the best in the leadup, as there is no first class game to play in.

[@jrajju]

ashwin 's wish to equal the kumble record of 619 after that he would retire. But it didn't happen as he was omitted when ind playing at foreign land. The last series of white wash by newz was personally hit ash... might be one of the reasons

[@raghuramankumaraswami9676]

Yes he is not one to hope his spin colleagues don’t do well so that he can be picked as that will be against his team interest.He earned his place on his own merit and for whimsical ways of the team management he cannot be benched for no worthwhile reason.He did the right by calling it quits.

It's very likely that R. Ashwin retired because of mental demons after he observed a pattern of being ignored to play on overseas tours. Secondly Washington's inclusion in the team. He should have retired after WTC 2027. Let's hope for a comeback or reconsideration. He is still young.

He's got a movie deal with an Aussie actress on the topic of cross culture marriage. He will also go on a Guitar gig tour early next year covering all 50 biggest Australian cities.

Nothing matters to him anymore.

Not true, the team management fkd him over

[@prabhsharansingh5974]

I think he retired because the next probable test match he could have played would have been in November 2025 which is the home tests vs West Indies. Sure, the England test series was there but again six months of gap considering he doesn't play white ball cricket anymore would have been a factor I believe!

[@ArokiarajSelvame]

By the speculation of retiring in mid series and then having a go at BCCI and not responding for the mixed views about his retirement in the involvement of the coach and captain, he made himself the door shut down as a commentator if he have as one of his future plans. Intelligent?

[@तेरीaisiकीtaisi]

There are several players, many younger than Ashwin, not even getting selected in the 15 squad. Players like Shami, Chahal, etc. Ideally he should have retired a year or two back and make way for younger players. Not everyone has an aura of Sachin or Dhoni to have a prolonged career

I fully support Gambhir. Ashwin cannot bully team that he has to be selected at any cost. Ashwin is now bowling average like Siraj , batting a nouch better than Siraj & fielding exactly like Siraj. Why Siraj is select is because Indian team feels donkey should play in horse race because donkey work very hard irrespective of their skill. All commentators from Harsha Bogle to Sunny Gavaskar feel Siraj should play bcoze he works very hard & shows aggression though misplaced. So don’t blame Ashwin for his frustration. When donkeys can be picked consistently why not him.

Nobody leaves in the middle of the series. Ashwin did all of a sudden. Everyone knows the answer but no one wants to talk openly.
