Is everything not well in the team? What does Ashwin’s retirement indicate? The game took place in 15 days.

Ravichandran Ashwin Retirement: Everyone was shocked when Spire’s magician Ravichandran Ashwin announced his/her retirement after Thursday’s Gaba Test. Generally, it is a tradition that after being a part of a match, a player announces his/her retirement at the end of the match or such an announcement is made at the end of the series. Ashwin was not even a part of the Gaba test. Then why did he/she announce his/her retirement in such a situation? Well, only Ashwin himself or captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir can answer this question. Some of the developments that have taken place in the last few days are indicating that everything is not going well in Team India.

When Rohit Sharma came for the press conference after the end of the Gaba Test match, he/she was also asked questions about Ravichandran Ashwin. On this, Hitman said that Ashwin wanted to retire even before the Pink Ball Test played in Adelaide. During the Perth match, he/she expressed his/her desire to retire. I told him/her to play this match. After this, Ashwin was also seen playing in the second match of the India-Australia Test series. However, Ashwin was dropped again in the third match. Ashwin played only the second match out of the three matches played so far on this tour.

What happened between Adelaide and Brisbane?
Now the question is whether Ashwin was expecting that he/she would be given a chance during this tournament also, due to which he/she did not retire even after the Pink Ball Test. When he/she was not given a chance in Gaba, he/she announced his/her retirement. From Rohit’s words, it can be understood that he/she was unhappy with Washington Sundar, who had a career of only 7 Test matches, being given preference in his/her place for not being selected in the Perth Test. This is the reason why he/she wanted to retire earlier. There is no point in Ashwin telling Rohit about retirement even before the Perth Test because if it was so, then why would he/she come to play the Australia Test series. In such a situation, the question also arises whether Ashwin and Rohit do not talk to each other despite sharing the same dressing room.

Had Ashwin’s edge faded?
It means clearly that everything is not going well between the captain and Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin was also a part of Team India in three matches of the India New Zealand Test series. he/she could not take 5 wickets even once in 9 innings of the last five tests. In these 5 tests he/she took a total of 15 wickets. India also had to face a clean sweep against New Zealand.
