Ashwin's decision was shocking.
Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement in the middle of the series is surprising people. That too when the team is heavily dependent on him. The five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. After the rain-affected third Test match was drawn in Brisbane, the fourth Test match will be played in Melbourne from December 26. When Kumble announced his retirement after the third Test in 2008, India were leading the four-match series 1–0. India eventually won the series 2–0.

Virat-Ashwin met in the dressing room before announcing their retirement.

Gavaskar raised questions Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar criticized Ashwin's retirement in the middle of the series. Gavaskar told the official broadcaster of the series, “He could have said that after the series is over, I will not be available for selection in the Indian team. What does it mean? Mahendra Singh Dhoni had similarly retired after the third Test match during the 2014-15 series. This reduces one member from the team. There is a reason why the selection committee has selected so many players for this tour. If a player gets injured then he can choose any reserve player included in the team.
