An absolute match-winner, @ashwinravi99! Retiring as India’s second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket is nothing short of monumental. Combine that with his invaluable batting contributions, and you get one of the game’s solid all-rounders. Well done, Ash! pic.twitter.com/9UAxCNouSf

WV Raman's Reaction After Ravi Ashwin Retirement
#Ashwin was one cricketer who played chess on a huge cricket field, like #Shastri and #KUmble did before him. All of them were and are interesting and engaging conversationalists as well. Wonder who will be the next of this ilk!! #cerebralcricketers
