The 38-year-old Indian spinner, known for his sharp cricketing mind and mastery over the ball, recently opened up about his unexpected decision to retire mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
“For me, what matters is playing with honesty and passion. I don’t need a farewell game. The happiness and experiences the game has given me are more than enough,” said Ravichandran Ashwin, addressing his retirement from international cricket. 
Ashwin's announcement, made after the third Test in Brisbane, sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. Fans and pundits were taken aback by the abruptness of the decision, especially since he had been a key figure in Indian cricket for over a decade.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1bda113.jpg" alt="">
However, Ashwin made it clear that the decision was instinctive, coming from a place of self-awareness rather than external pressures. He revealed on his YouTube channel, “When you know your time is up, there’s no point in dragging it further. My creativity on the field felt like it had run its course.”
Reflecting on the events leading to his retirement, Ashwin explained how his fluctuating role in the team influenced his decision. “You think what happened? I did not play the first Test. I played the second but did not play the third. It was possible I could play the next or not play the next. This is a side of my creativity and I was looking to explore it. At that time, I felt my creativity was over, so it was over. It was simple” he said. The Tamil Nadu cricketer, who has always been known for his articulate thoughts, emphasized that his retirement was not about controversies or conflicts but about moving forward when he felt ready.
The idea of a farewell game, often seen as a ceremonial way to honor a cricketer’s career, was something Ashwin dismissed outright. “Imagine if I want to play a farewell Test but I do not deserve a place. Imagine, I am only in the team because it is my farewell Test. I don't want that,” he remarked. He elaborated that the essence of cricket lies in the joy it brings, not in grand exits or extended applause.
Ashwin's humility and grounded approach to the sport shone through as he said, “The game has given me so much already; I have no complaints.”
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1871c43.jpg" alt="">
Ashwin also touched upon his aspirations post-retirement. While he left the Indian dressing room, he hinted at continuing his cricketing journey elsewhere. “I still have cricket left in me, but it’s about finding the right space to explore it. For now, I’m happy to leave when people are asking ‘why’ instead of ‘why not,’” he said with a smile.
As one of India’s finest off-spinners, Ashwin's legacy is monumental. With 537 Test wickets in 106 matches and a combined total of 765 international wickets, he stands as one of the country’s greatest bowlers. Only Anil Kumble has more wickets for India. Beyond numbers, his ability to outthink batters and adapt to different conditions made him a game-changer on the field.
While his departure may seem sudden, it is quintessential Ashwin—methodical, introspective, and unafraid to take bold steps. As fans come to terms with his decision, one thing is clear: Ravichandran Ashwin’s contribution to Indian cricket will remain etched in history, not for how it ended, but for how it unfolded with brilliance and integrity.

Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, citing self-awareness. Rejecting a farewell game, he emphasized cricket's joy over ceremonial exits, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy in Indian cricket.

Ashwin's instinctive retirement highlights humility and self-awareness, valuing cricket's joy and legacy over traditional farewell gestures. A remarkable journey concludes.

Since Washington Sundar starred for India in the T20I series? after the retirement of legendary all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, he has made quite an impact under several difficult circumstances. Reports suggest teams like Mumbai Indians, CSK and Gujarat Titans are eyeing him for the mega-auction. Sundar, though young, has been an eminent part of Indian domestic cricket and has several standout records across all formats of the game. Sundar recently, after his dominating second-class hundred of 159 runs, was called up for the Indian team. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Sundar">Washington Sundar</a> has also been a long part of the IPL, as Sundar in the recent game against New Zealand went on to secure his best-ever international performance with 11 wickets in the game. With Sundar nearing 50 international T20I wickets, several IPL franchises have shown a keen interest in hiring him into their side as SRH is not likely to retain him for the upcoming season.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The top 3 franchises who might target Washington Sundar in the IPL mega-auction</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gujarat Titans </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Shubi-Gill-GT-1024x719.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-149082" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shubman Gill - Likely retention for Gujarat Titans (Image: Adda247)</figcaption></figure>



The Gujarat Titans are reportedly only looking to retain the likes of their skipper and star batter Shubman Gill, while Rashid Khan?s retention also remains questionable, and nothing has been confirmed for either of these claims. However, something that seems imminent is that the Titans would be in the quest to reinforce their squad and hence would look for crucial players of Indian origin who can turn the fortunes for the champions from the 2022 season. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chennai Super Kings</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Jadeja-in-CSK-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-149083" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravindra Jadeja the most likely CSK retention (Image Credit: X.com)</figcaption></figure>



The CSK side is often known for featuring the likes of India?s best-ever spinner produced in the IPL, Ravi Ashwin. Washington Sundar is also not very different from the former, with his excellence being on par. Sundar has also had a good hand in batting, he can also score quick runs with the bat and can be very helpful on the Chepauk track, which is very handy for off-spinners. Only having Jadeja as a spinner, they would be in the quest for another such bowler. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mumbai Indians </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Hardik-Pandya-MI.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-149084" style="width:693px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hardik Pandya - Will he continue as MI skipper (Image Credit: News18)</figcaption></figure>



The Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the game, as the Hardik Pandya-led side have been troubled by their lack of spin bowlers in the middle-phase of the game. Also, the overseas batters do not find the pace of Pandya or anyone else to be threatening in the middle overs. Mohammad Nabi could not be very handy, while another Indian addition will be crucial to the team, as Sundar can be an asset for MI, so that he can provide further depth to their batting order, which is often favored by Mahela Jayawardene and the Mumbai management.

India's new poster boy and current T20 sensation, Rinku Singh, is one of the most highly anticipated cricketers, as he celebrates his 27th birthday this time around. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



 Rinku Singh is a celebrated Indian cricketer, first recognized for his stunning domestic performances either in Ranji or even in domestic trophies like the Vijay Hazare and the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. He was then picked and scouted by the Kolkata Knight Riders as they acquired him for the first-ever time back in the auction of 2018. Initially barred into the scenario, Rinku was primarily used as a substitute fielder back then, before he started making field appearances for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>. Though initially, Rinku could not have most of the desired success, as from 2018-20, he featured in only 10 matches and was very probable to be dropped off from the side before the next auction. Rinku started taking the limelight from the 2022 IPL when he was recognized as an electric fielder, while also batting stunningly whenever he got a chance to feature for the Knight Riders. Singh relished onto a perfect season in 2023, as Rinku Singh slammed a thunderous record as he smashed 474 runs in the edition. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1844929542181343695
</div></figure>



 Rinku emerged as KKR?s best batter and their highest run-getter, as he averaged nearly 60 and scored at a strike rate of 150. This handed him the status of a fine finisher, as he also scored 4-half-century scores in the season, as he knocked heavily on the doors of the Indian team for his selection into the T20I side. 



ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/icc-eyeing-to-move-champions-trophy-out-of-pakistan/">ICC eyeing to move Champions Trophy out of Pakistan</a> Rinku then made his debut for India in the T20I side in August 2023 against Ireland, as he soon stoot to form. Since then, Rinku Singh has starred in 25 international T20 matches for India and has scored 471 runs, averaging over 58 while also striking over 175. Rinku was last seen in the second T20I match against Bangladesh, which was played recently, when he, with his third half-century score of 53, went on to give India the upper hand and rescue them from a near struggle. He has also played 2 ODI matches for India against South Africa back in 2023. Rinku Singh in the innings scored 53 runs against Bangladesh, as he hit 3-sixes in the innings as well. While also Rinku Singh is now leveled up with the great Indian veteran MS Dhoni, arguably one of the finest finishers in the history of the game. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Dhoni">MS Dhoni</a>, who has had a previous record for India in T20s with the third most sixes hit in the final two overs of the game, as now Rinku is also leveled with Dhoni for having hit 19-sixes for India, though Dhoni after 56 innings and Rinku have achieved the same in just 12 of his T20 innings. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/weRcricket/status/1844943577182503002
</div></figure>



 Rinku Singh, though, did not have a very decent season in the IPL 2024, as he missed to have a start while also failing to press onto the accelerator during the end phase of the innings. Rinku Singh now has played 45 matches for the KKR, as he has scored 893 runs since he averaged over 30 and also scored at a force rate over 143.34.

While also his famous "god?s plan? technique would take the limelight from the second T20I against Bangladesh in Delhi.

India will not have many games recently, especially until the Bangladesh team travels to India for the home series. Though with the current political unrest in Bangladesh, this series remains doubtful, yet India is gearing up for a home season, which will mostly include the games in the longest format of the game as a part of their WTC cycle. India in their recent loss have likely missed on several areas, but one of the major areas of concern has also been Siraj?s inability to produce wickets and hence the selectors as well as India?s new head coach in search of new players from the upcoming domestic seasons, which will be either the Ranji or Duleep Trophy which will be played later this year. One of India?s finest players, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammad Shami</a>, the right-arm pacer, India?s current most experienced pacer, is likely recovering from his injury at the National Cricket Academy. It was an ankle injury that ruled India?s ace bowler from participation in any international or domestic games since the end of the Cricket World Cup in November 2023. Initially, Shami?s ankle injury was considered minor, though he was advised to get himself ready for surgery after he saw repeated swelling in the region when he was stationed at the NCA, as a result of which he was withdrawn from India?s tour of South Africa.

</figure>



 Following his surgery, Mohammad Shami not only missed games for his national side but also missed an entire season for the Gujarat Titans, as a result of which he was also not seen for India in their T20 World Cup triumph. Shami in the last Cricket World Cup played 7 games for India and was not a part of the team initially, though was included when Pandya was ruled out due to injury. He went on to pick 24 wickets at an alarming rate of 12.20, averaging almost 10.70.

Before the Sri Lanka series, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Agarkar">Ajit Agarkar</a> had accepted that Shami was recovering from injuries and he had started to bowl in the nets. The chief selector also made a bold claim, as he said Shami, Siraj, and Bumrah have been around for some time and are hence the obvious picks. Shami is currently in his final stages of rehab, though nothing has been confirmed by the BCCI or even the NCA members. If he recovers, Shami has shown interest in first starring for his state team of Bengal before making a return to the national side.

</figure>



 Even if Shami misses the Bangladesh or New Zealand home series, he would still have plenty of time left to make a probable comeback as the Australian tour, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is scheduled later in November, after the Kiwi home series ends on November 5th. Only after the Aussie series can he be back for the Indian side in the England tour, playing across multiple formats, as India eye to prepare him for both the Champions Trophy and the WTC final later in June the coming year in 2025.

IND vs SL: India?s T20 World Cup-winning skipper, who stood firm in the World Cup and led India to a title triumph, announced his retirement from the format. But though Rohit has left playing the format, the format doesn?t seem to let Rohit go, as he has evolved his ball-striking strategies and implemented them in the longer format of white-ball cricket. Sharma broke several scintillating records in the first ODI as he surpassed many greats of the game. So did he when he came into bat in the 2nd ODI as well, as he went past the likes of greats Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni to claim the fourth spot among the highest run-getters for the Indian team in the ODI format. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1820100947005087982
</div></figure>



 Rohit, one of the greatest white-ball openers of all time while playing in the powerplay, scored yet another half-century. Firstly, he broke one of the most legendary batters in the world and India?s greatest ever, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachin_Tendulkar">Sachin Tendulkar</a>?s record of most tons in World Cups. The legend, who had six centuries to his name, was surpassed by Rohit, who scored his seventh (7) against Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1820097528156856750
</div></figure>



 This time around he has produced something very different to once again get past the legendary player, Rohit, who levelled himself with the likes of the legend in the 1st ODI with 120 50+ scores as an opener in the format, now has gone past Tendulkar with 121 such 50+ innings and is still counting. This was Rohit?s second 50 of the series, and both were scored within the powerplay at a very quick time, as he scored the first one with 33 balls and the next in just 29 balls.

Many have claimed if anyone is worthy enough, then it's Rohit to break his record.

IND vs SL: Rohit Sharma surpasses Sachin Tendulkar with an incredible fifty in the Second ODI

ind-vs-sl-rohit-sharma-surpasses-sachin-tendulkar-with-an-incredible-fifty-in-the-second-odi

IND vs SL: After the major upset in the Cricket World Cup 2023, India is now in the hunt for an ICC title in the game's longer format as they enter the Champions Trophy to be played in the upcoming year. India is to play six ODI matches, the first three against Sri Lanka and the next against England in January, before they proceed to the Champions Trophy. India will likely make some changes to their ODI squad under new coach Gautam Gambhir and his chosen coaching staff. Hardik Pandya has been often credited as India?s best all-rounder; he has also shown his prowess in the shortest format of the game. Hardik was one of India?s leading performers in the T20 World Cup, and all thanks to his bowling geniuses, he led India to a historic victory in the World Cup. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



 Hardik?s fitness has always been a concern, and as a result, he has not been handed the role of T20I skipper for the Men in Blue. Hardik was last seen in the longest limited-overs format in the Cricket World Cup 2023, which he left midway through. Since then, Hardik has not been tested for his bowling prowess in the longer format.

Report</a> The Agarkar-led selection committee, alongside Gautam Gambhir, has already been making tough calls on the veteran all-rounder, as Hardik also has a record of being snubbed from the India team due to his inefficiency in bowling.

</figure>



 The selectors have made it clear that every player's performance in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_Hazare_Trophy">Vijay Hazare Trophy</a> later this year will hold great value in their team India selection for the Champions Trophy. Hardik?s batting does not have the same explosive intent as before, and the format also needs someone who can have a fair quota of their overs completed. Hardik will be seen for Baroda in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and if he can convince the selectors and the head coach with his bowling as well as batting prowess, then he might be included in the ODI Champions Trophy, so it is clearly stated that the MI skipper is not a must-pick in the longer format of limited-overs cricket.

IND vs SL: With Hardik asking for more time off from ODI cricket, his bowling fitness will be under the radar for his Champions Trophy inclusion

Hardik Pandya, one of the World Cup heroes for India, has always been a very special player for the Men in Blue across formats at several ICC tournaments. Pandya had a very decent season with both bat and ball in the World Cup, with his biggest contributions being wickets against Pakistan and his 3-fer that also included Miller?s wicket, which won India the spine-chilling T20 World Cup final. With this, India ended their 13-year drought without a World Cup trophy. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/SKY-wins-it-for-India-jpeg.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-144134" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SKY wins it for India (Image: MSN)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



 However, just three weeks after the great World Cup triumph, Hardik?s world has turned upside down. With a shattered personal life, Pandya was recently snubbed of the captaincy role for India?s T20I. Suryakumar was appointed as the recent successor of retiring skipper Rohit Sharma; this marked a major setback in the all-rounder?s career. Now, after his major setback at the international level, what will be his future with the IPL?s most successful franchise? Pandya left MI for a big-budget move to the Gujarat Titans in 2022, and in their debut season, the exceptional all-rounder led them to a trophy triumph. After taking the Titans to yet another final in 2023, he was brought back to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Indians">Mumbai Indians</a> camp and took over Rohit?s position. Hardik did not receive the best of receptions from the MI crowd, as he was disgusted over the behavior of the crowd all over India. Hardik even could not up the morale of the team, as despite having one of the finest teams in the competition, the Mumbai Indians ended last in the points table. After having a disastrous season, it was often said that Hardik could be snubbed of such a crucial role. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



 With the IPL 2025 probably being a mega auction, there are high chances of Rohit Sharma leaving the MI den after 15 long seasons with the franchise team. MI would surely prioritize having him back; however, it would depend on whether the World Cup-winning skipper would want to continue his tenure with the team, especially when teams like the Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans have shown prior interest in the veteran. The BCCI has yet to declare how many retentions each team can make, and so MI needs to set their priorities straight. However, they also have a blockbuster batter and India?s recently announced T20 skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, in their roster.

Though Pandya still has his chances, looking at his good insight into the captaincy and his participation in the Champions Trophy can also turn the tables for him if he has a probable great campaign at the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Baroda.

 However, there remains a chance that Suryakumar Yadav can be a successful skipper with the Men in Blue, and then the Mumbai Indians might look to rope him in for a season as their stand-in skipper. So clearly, Hardik?s chances of retaining his IPL captaincy have also been largely threatened following his national disappointment.

With Hardik Pandya's India captaincy snub, does he stand a chance to retain his position as the MI skipper?

IND vs SL: Abhishek Sharma, India?s new rising superstar, was picked for his debut series in the shortest format of the game after his splendid season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024. After Indian veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, alongside Jadeja, retired from international T20 cricket, Team India is in the quest for their successor. Sharma can be picked as the ideal player who has similar hitting prowess and aggressive intent as the ex-Indian skipper. Abhishek was seen playing a very handy role for the Indian side in his first-ever international series at the Harare Stadium. After facing a major setback in the opening game, Abhishek wreaked havoc as he made a mockery of the bowlers to score a brilliant 100, the first player to score a hundred in only their second international appearance. 



He also picked up two wickets in the last two games of the series, as the left-handed batter did not score many at No. 3 after Jaiswal?s arrival. Against the Lankans, India will be seen with a new XI under coach Gautam Gambhir. Amidst the return of players like Pant, Pandya, and <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/suryakumar-yadav-446507">Suryakumar Yadav</a>, Abhishek Sharma will be one of those players who should find a spot in the team after his decent outing with the Indian team against Zimbabwe.

Abhishek is not an all-rounder when it comes to batting; just like his mentor, he is the best possible man with the willow on the field. With proper cricketing shots, Abhishek is not someone who will serve you as a closing or finishing option; he is the one whom a team can rely on.

With his brilliant 100, he has proved his worth as a batter. More than his caliber, what counts in the format is the intent he brings along. Abhishek has already hit many records, as he has been proclaimed one of the cleanest hitters on the white ball for India, who can be a great prospect for India.

Abhishek can be the answer to India?s long-asked query: a replacement for Yuvraj Singh, a batter who can bowl an over or two in a T20 game. India has found its groove with all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel. However, sometimes there seems to be a need for top-quality batsmen who can slip in a few overs. Abhishek, alongside his ton, has picked up a couple of wickets, and before this, he has also proved how effective he can be on tracks that spin or bounce.

India may find their long-lost star back in his most highly anticipated disciple, as he often reminds us of his mentor, the veteran Indian who ruled the format as no one else did.

Abhishek Sharma is not one of those batters who can bat only upfront in the powerplay, as the player can generate shots of his own, especially scoring at a high rate with sixes all around the park. Abhishek never seems to let the run flow stop, as he bats with equal determination and boundary percentage even in the middle-over phases of the game. Possessing all these, he will be a first-hand choice, and Gambhir might look to give him further chances in the future to test his likeness to be an ideal successor to the great Rohit Sharma.
