Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India's greatest players, has finally announced his retirement from international cricket for India. But fans are speculating as to why he was not selected for the farewell match for the Gabba Test in Brisbane. Rohit Sharma's revelation about Ashwin's non-selection reveals the complex strategic mathematics involved in team selection during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Ashwin's story is similar to Dhoni's
Ravichandran Ashwin took this decision exactly ten years after Dhoni's retirement. This time also the team is on a tour of Australia. Like Dhoni, as soon as Ashwin announced his retirement, he did not play any further matches. Ashwin also did not say that the next or last match of this series would be his last match. As soon as he announced this, his retirement began.
MS Dhoni left test cricket ten years ago
MS Dhoni had announced his retirement from Test cricket in 2014. At that time Team India was also on the tour of Australia. There was to be a four-match series and after the third match, Mahendra Singh Dhoni suddenly announced that he would no longer play Test cricket. In 2014 the third test was also a draw and this time also the third test was a draw. When Dhoni announced his retirement, there was one match left in the series, but Dhoni ended his Test career there and did not play the last Test. The last Test of that series was also played in Sydney. This time also the third match is in Melbourne and the last match will be played in Sydney only.
Now Ashwin and Dhoni will play IPL together for CSK
The interesting thing is that even though Ashwin has left international cricket now, he will be seen playing in IPL. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has bought him in this auction. This means that he will play in the yellow jersey with his old teammate MS Dhoni. It is possible that Ashwin may also retire wearing the yellow jersey in IPL. Because the current team is for three years. There is very little possibility that Ashwin will be seen in IPL after three years. We will have to wait and see what decision Ashwin takes regarding his future career.
