Ashwin’s retirement discussion Ashwin apparently wanted to retire after the NZ series, acknowledging that he wasn’t at his best. Someone, likely Rohit, convinced him to stay, believing Ashwin’s experience and wicket-taking ability would be crucial for the Australia series, especially after the 3-0 loss to NZ. The batters haven’t performed, and the Indian management seems to expect a bowler to bail them out. To be fair to Ashwin, he didn’t perform well in just one series, and he gets dropped. How many runs has Kohli scored in the last few series? It... 3 6 replies

What is it with australia and Indian cricketers retiring Rahul dravid and vvs laxman played his last test match against australia in australia; Ganguly's last appearance for India was against australia and so was that of kumble; Dhoni and his csk connection both retired against australia, that too midway.

What happened to Ashwin is similar what was done to Dravid 12 years before Ashwin has retired from the international cricket, and anyone with a hint of understanding about the game knows he hasn't retired cause he couldn't perform at the highest level.

I am sure I am not the only one who feels retirement is forced on him, by the board, with groundwork being laid since NZ defeat ( here our batting cavalry was under question, but narrative was set to include aging players Jaddu and... 4 8 replies
