Virat Kohli Emotional During Ravichandran Ashwin Farewell Speech: Ravichandran Ashwin struggled with his insecurities for a long time in his childhood and perhaps he did not want to get stuck in the quagmire of insecurities again. This is why his sudden retirement from international cricket will not be unexpected for anyone who has followed his journey. He could have retired in Sydney after the fifth Test against Australia but he was not ready to just remain associated with the team.

Ravichandran Ashwin spoke in his farewell speech

“The Indian international cricketer in me may have retired today, but the cricketer in me will never retire. I will be eagerly waiting for everyone and will be cheering for you all from home. This is a very emotional moment for me It seems like just yesterday I had my first tour of Australia in 2011, but it has been a beautiful journey. I have made great relationships and friendships in the team and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time.”
