Took it on your own or forced your retirement? Questions are being raised on Ravichandran Ashwin's sudden retirement.

Cricket News Desk. Indian team's experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored 765 runs in international cricket, has said goodbye to international cricket. Ashwin announced his retirement after the Brisbane Gabba Test match was drawn. Ashwin was not a part of Team India's playing eleven in the Gabba Test match. In such a situation, he did not even get a farewell match. Ashwin played in the Adelaide Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy during the Australia tour, but his performance was not anything special. In such a situation, let us know about those three big reasons due to which Ashwin may have retired.

Ashwin was under pressure due to his poor performance in Australia.
Ravichandran Ashwin has been Team India's leading spinner in Test cricket for the last decade. This is the reason why he has become the second highest wicket taker for Team India in the red ball format. Before the Australia tour, everything was going well for Ashwin in Team India. Ashwin also bowled strongly against New Zealand, but what happened was that he announced his retirement after playing just one match against Australia. Ashwin played the Pink Ball Test match in Adelaide, in which he took only 1 wicket. Before this he had not got the opportunity to play in Perth. According to Rohit Sharma, Ashwin wanted to announce his retirement in Perth itself, but on the advice of the captain, he stopped doing so. In such a situation, the question arises whether Ashwin was kept out of the playing eleven due to his inability to perform effectively on foreign soil, after which he decided to retire. Because after Adelaide, Ravindra Jadeja was fielded in his place in Brisbane. Because being a senior player, being continuously ignored was in a way a message that Ashwin was no longer getting a place in the team.

Ashwin was ignored in the last phase of his career
There was no doubt that Ravichandran Ashwin was now in the final stages of his career. Ashwin lived many memorable moments in his 16-year-long career for Team India, but when the time came for his retirement, what was the reason that he did not even get a farewell match? So this is a question. Along with this, it can also be understood that Ashwin was ignored to some extent in the last phase of his career. Ashwin was included in the team for the Australia tour, but he was not getting a place in the playing eleven. Ashwin ruled out of Perth Test. When he got a chance in the Pink Ball Test match in Adelaide, he could not do anything special and could take only 1 wicket. After this he was released again at Gabba in Brisbane. In such a situation, due to being continuously dropped from the team, Ashwin had understood that his days in Team India were over and the team management wanted him to take the decision of retirement.

Increasing age also affected Ashwin.
Along with Ashwin's increasing age, being ignored by Team India was also a reason for his retirement. Ashwin, who took 537 wickets in 100 Test matches for India, will turn 39 in a few days. Ashwin not only bowls but also bats in Team India. Apart from this, Ashwin is also continuously playing in the Indian Premier League and TNPL. In such a situation, it was a challenge for Ashwin, who is turning 39, to maintain his fitness even at this age, due to which he has announced his retirement.
