Ravichandran Ashwin stunned the cricket world after the third India vs Australia Test in Brisbane as he announced his retirement from international cricket. Being the highest wicket-taker among active bowlers with 537 scalps, many expected Ashwin, 38, to continue for some more time. However, he retired with two Tests left in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. The timing of his retirement was questioned by greats like Sunil Gavaskar. Ashwin was used on only one of the first three Tests in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. India captain Rohit Sharma latest said: "It just happened so that if you know where he felt that, 'if I'm not needed right now in the series, I'm better off."
