Ravichandran Ashwin india News
Ashwin, India's most successful off-spinner with 765 international wickets across formats, said batting maestros such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma scoring a century should be considered "business as usual" as they have already achieved so much in their career.
Earlier, India’s veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket after the third Test between India and Australia ended on a draw.
On the back of his successful career, Ashwin has gathered a massive net worth of Rs 132 crore.
Ashwin then made a return to India’s playing XI in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. But then again, Ashwin was asked to sit on the bench for the third Test in Brisbane and Ravindra Jadeja took his place in the XI.
A lot of fans and former cricketers were shocked when Ashwin announced his retirement.
A lot of current and former Indian cricketers took to their social media handles to wish the 38-year-old player after he announced his retirement.
It all transpired on the last day of the third Test between India and Australia as the players were waiting for the weather to clear after the tea break.
This is the first time India suffered a whitewash in a series comprising three or more Tests at home, having gone unbeaten on their own turn for the last 12 years.
The moment came, and it was from Ashwin, not with the ball but with his 'trusted hands' on the field.
New Zealand ended the second day at 171 for 9 in their second innings with an overall lead of 143 which many like former India captain and head coach Anil Kumble believes is a challenging target if one factors in the track.
Ashwin had a last laugh as he used his carrom ball to dismiss the Blackcaps batter.
On the back of this feat, Ashwin has now taken 531 wickets in Test cricket.
India’s veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has grabbed the Player of the Series award 11 times in Test cricket.
On the back of this hundred, Ashwin holds the fourth spot in the list of oldest Indian players to make a century.
