Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India's greatest cricketers, has announced his retirement from international cricket, marking the end of an illustrious career. Ashwin revealed his decision after the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Brisbane, confirming his retirement across all formats for India. With 537 wickets in 106 Tests, Ashwin retires as India’s second-highest wicket-taker, trailing only Anil Kumble. His remarkable average of 24 in Tests, coupled with his contributions as an all-rounder, make his legacy unforgettable. He is one of only 11 players in history to achieve the feat of 3000 Test runs and 300 wickets.

Ashwin's retirement statement was emotional, reflecting on his journey with teammates like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane, and expressing gratitude to the BCCI, coaches, and fierce competitors like the Australian team. While he hinted at continuing in club cricket and possibly IPL or TNPL, he also expressed interest in staying connected to the sport in other capacities.

Known for his strategic brilliance, Ashwin's record of 11 Player-of-the-Series awards ties him with Muttiah Muralitharan. As cricket bids farewell to one of its sharpest minds, Ashwin's legacy will remain a benchmark for aspiring cricketers worldwide. Win mega reward in www.khelostar247.com
