Ashwin Retirement: Wednesday morning was filled with emotions for Indian fans when veteran bowler Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket.

Coach Gautam Gambhir posted on Instagram and wished him all the best for the future.

On Ashwin's retirement, Virat Kohli wrote an emotional post and wished him all the best for the future. Earlier, when it was raining in Brisbane, both of them were emotionally hugging each other and it was expected that something big was going to happen. That is what happened and after some time Ashwin announced his retirement.
