The script for Ashwin had been written before his/her retirement!

brisbane There was a strange commotion in Brisbane regarding the press conference after the drawn test, the market of speculation was hot and whispering was at its peak. Everyone was restless because the wind on the field had reached the press box with a different message. Captain Rohit was supposed to come on the last day of the match, but the name of the person who was coming with him/her raised eyebrows. This person was the country’s biggest match winner of modern cricket, R Ashwin.

Ashwin’s one minute and forty-six second statement sealed the news that had reached the press box a few minutes ago through the blowing wind. Everyone was shocked. No one had expected that this retirement would happen so soon but it happened. Ashwin got emotional and expressed his/her views and then started leaving from there, I stopped him/her, took a picture and tried to read the smile and eyes on his/her face.

The script was written before retirement

If there is an injury on the body, a person can bear it, but if there is an injury on the heart, it is forgotten and neither does it heal easily. Pay attention to Ashwin’s line in the press conference where he/she said that although cricket is still left in him/her, he/she will now serve the club. It means clearly that whatever happened in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane was like hurting the dignity of a great bowler. It seemed as if everything was going according to the script with Ashwin. In Perth, Washington Sundar was deliberately given preference over Ashwin, today it is understandable why the team management did this, because you can put a bowler like Ashwin, who has taken more than 500 wickets, on the bench and replace him/her with a player whose The place in the next test was not confirmed. When Rohit returned, Ashwin returned to the pink ball. Indian batsmen failed in Adelaide but there was a change in the bowling in Brisbane, Ashwin was dropped and Ravindra Jadeja was played. That means three different spinners played in three matches. It is clear that the team management did not have any concrete plan for its spin bowlers. Big match winners like Ashwin started being fed musical chairs which was continuously troubling him/her. his/her self-respect was constantly being hurt and Ashwin’s restlessness was increasing. Everything was going according to the script. Ashwin’s stature was being constantly lowered because the writer of the script knew that Ashwin would break down and that is exactly what happened.

Even spin friendly wicket of Sydney could not stop

Ashwin said a big thing in the dressing room that he/she has seen many big players including Sachin Tendulkar retiring and one day everyone has to retire but my question is why in the middle of the series? Why couldn’t the team management stop him/her till Sydney? Why did Ashwin have to go to the country overnight, what happened that a bowler ready to play club cricket refuses to play for the country.
After Brisbane, the team had to go to Melbourne and then to Sydney where Ashwin could be played because everyone knows that Sydney has a spin friendly pitch but perhaps Ashwin had a doubt in his/her mind that he/she might be dropped somewhere in Sydney too. If given, they will fall in their own eyes. This fear forced Ashwin to take such a big step. The surprising thing is that no one either talked to Ashwin about his/her retirement nor assured him/her that he/she would definitely play the Sydney Test. It was probably a big thing for the country’s number spinner, which forced Ashwin to do what has become the biggest topic of discussion in the country today.
