Did the team think-tank actually believe that Yadav and Thakur had a better chance of taking wickets in the conditio ns that prevailed at the Oval than Ashwin, the No. 1 Test bowler in the world? Going by cricketing logic, the probability of something like that happening was very low. In fact, between the two spinners also, on a track where the ball isn’t turning much, Ashwin should be preferred to Jadeja simply because Jadeja’s efficacy as a wicket-taker goes down in good measure if the ball isn’t spinning. He is deadly on the dust-bowls of India but since he doesn’t have many dimensions to his bowling, it’s difficult for Jadeja to create wicket-taking opportunities outside of the subcontinent.</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>

The off-spinning allrounder walked in alongside captain Rohit Sharma after the game to announce his immediate retirement from all forms of international cricket at the age of 38. Ashwin will leave the team and depart for home on Thursday, captain Rohit Sharma said, with many left wondering at the manner of his retirement and the reasons behind announcing the decision now.

I’ve had a lot of fun and created a lot of memories alongside Rohit and several of my other teammates. Even though I lost some of them over the last few years, we’re the last bunch of OGs, if you can say that, left in the dressing room.

It is understood that Ashwin has been contemplating retirement for well over a year now. A dodgy knee hasn’t helped matters. The aches and pains and a deteriorating shoulder have been there for a while but India’s 0-3 loss to New Zealand — and his own inability to prise out wickets on home turners like he used to — may have contributed to the decision. Washington Sundar getting the nod in Perth too may have been a red flag.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
Ashwin, the only Indian allrounder to score 3000 runs and take 500 wickets, did not take any questions after a brief statement, leaving Rohit to explain what had transpired. “I heard this when I came to Perth.” Rohit explained. “I was not there for the first three or four days of that Test. This was on his mind then. There are obviously a lot of things that went behind this. He understands what the team is thinking, what kind of combinations we are thinking.”</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
Ashwin will be 39 by the time of India’s next big home series and likely felt there was no point hanging on if the team had moved on from him. Rohit said he had to “convince” Ashwin to stay back and play the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, raising questions about why a proper farewell wasn’t announced there itself, instead of the end of a rainhit Test in which Ashwin wasn’t even a member of the playing XI.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
Ashwin is, after all, the second-highest Test wicket-taker for India behind Anil Kumble, the 537 scalps a testimony to his stature, commitment and rare ability. He brought a thorough, scientific, almost nerdy approach to the art of finger spin in his 14-year international career. He formed a deadly combination with Ravindra Jadeja which was the cornerstone of India’s decade-long Test domination at home. The duo became a nightmare for visiting teams on the turning tracks in India.
Overseas, Ashwin ceased to be a regular feature in the XI but ended with 154 away wickets. He was more than a handy batter, a role in which he began his cricketing journey and now leaves after scoring six Test tons.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
“When we came here, we were not sure about which spinner was going to play. We just wanted to assess what kind of conditions we get,” Rohit said. “When I arrived in Perth, this was a chat we had. I somehow convinced him to stay for that pink-ball Test. It just happened that he felt that ‘if I’m not needed right now in the series, I’m better off saying goodbye to the game’.”</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
Ashwin’s decision deprives the squad of a major spinner for the remaining two Tests in Mel- bourne and Sydney, but Rohit was supportive of the decision. “He was very sure about what he wanted to do. That is the kind of chat we have had as well, me and (head coach) Gautam Gambhir. It is important that a player like him, who has been a truly big match-winner, is allowed to make those decisions. If it was now, so be it.”</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
This Australia tour has seen chief selector Ajit Agarkar staying back to consult with Gambhir and the captain on the way forward for the team. Ashwin’s retirement may come as a message to some underperforming seniors to shape up. This is the second mid-series retirement for a top Indian cricketer on a tour of Australia, with then-captain MS Dhoni retiring after the Melbourne Test in the 2014-15 series.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
Debate will now rage on whether Ashwin was nudged or pushed, but there can be no questions on his legacy. He is one of the two greatest finger spinners of this era along with Australia’s Nathan Lyon, with whom he had a long chat after the game. In India, the land of spin and great spinners, Ashwin will be feted till the game is played. As for Washington Sundar, he now has some very big boots to fill.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">===MAYBE CHESS HELPED ASH: ANAND===</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Chennai: R Ashwin’s approach to spin bowling was often like a chess game. In a chat with TOI’s Neha Surana, chess legend Vishy Anand drew a parallel. “I’m going to speculate that chess maybe helped Ashwin, but I’m out on a limb here,” Anand said on Wednesday, “I like to think that the bowlers really have to think about how to outfox batters.”
Anand could relate to Ash’s decision to retire. “I guess it’s a stage that every sportsman reaches in his career. Your relationship with your sport changes because you don’t play it for the same reasons you played it before... It’s something I faced, a few years ago,” said Anand.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:India|R R.

“It’s been a long journey. I don’t exactly know where to begin because I was an accidental spinner. I wanted to be a batter all along. Life gave me a chance, and when I walked into the CSK dressing room, Muttiah Muralitharan didn’t want to bowl with the new ball, and eventually it got tossed at me. My firstclass career was pretty good, but nevertheless, the stage in the IPL made me visible to a lot of people, and I eventually got my Test debut. People doubted whether I could be a Test bowler, and 10-13 years later, it’s not a bad achievement, so I’m pretty glad,” he said. Is he now looking at crossing Kumble’s 619-wicket milestone, which will make him the highest wicket-taker for India in Tests? “The simple answer is ‘no’, it’s 120 wickets away, man. I’m 37.

On a surprisingly spin-friendly track on which the ball spun from Day One, and against a lame batting lineup, Ashwin coasted to a match haul of 12 for 131 to make sure that the Indian team had an extra two days of rest, relaxation and fun in the Caribbean before the second Test at Port-of-Spain.

And that brings us back to the question: Why was he not played in the all-important Wor ld Test Championship final against Australia recently? The more one thinks about, the more baffled one gets over the decision of the team management. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
India played Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja as the five bowlers in that game at the Oval in London. While Shami, Siraj and Jadeja were automatic picks, to play Yadav and Thakur ahead of Ashwin was more than a surprise, especially Yadav. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
Did the team think-tank actually believe that Yadav and Thakur had a better chance of taking wickets in the conditio ns that prevailed at the Oval than Ashwin, the No. 1 Test bowler in the world? Going by cricketing logic, the probability of something like that happening was very low. In fact, between the two spinners also, on a track where the ball isn’t turning much, Ashwin should be preferred to Jadeja simply because Jadeja’s efficacy as a wicket-taker goes down in good measure if the ball isn’t spinning. He is deadly on the dust-bowls of India but since he doesn’t have many dimensions to his bowling, it’s difficult for Jadeja to create wicket-taking opportunities outside of the subcontinent.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Ashwin, too, doesn’t have a great overseas record. But he is a thinking cricketer who keeps working on his game to become better and better. He has developed skills to trouble batsmen on most surfaces. The fact that he can bowls four or five different deliveries in an over keeps the batsman guessing. He can also use the rough created by the pacers on both sides of the stumps as he often bowls wide of the stumps to entice the batsman. The off-spinner’s ability to turn the ball the other way helps him befuddle batter s. On a placid track, this is a very useful skill to have. And this is something wicket-to-wicket bowlers cannot do. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Ashwin is a highly competitive cricketer who loves challenges and who has the wherewithal to respond to them effectively. At 36, he is probably bowling better than ever. A red-ball champion, he has even challenged himself to become better in white-ball cricket at this ripe age. His performances in ODIs, T20Is and IPL in recent times amply prove his commitment, his sense of excellence and his will to win. Whatever the format, Ashwin will give you his 100%, you can be sure of that. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">To make a player of his class, experience and spirit to sit out of a marquee game like the WTC final was a blunder which the team management cannot shy away from.
