Ashwin said that if my services aren’t needed then rather than sitting in dressing room i should spend my time sitting in homeRohit Sharma indirectly confirming that Ravichandran Ashwin retire due to Gautam Gambhir
— THANOS (@VariantOfThanos) December 18, 2024
My take is Ashwin's decision is mostly to do with Gambhir. Ever since he moved to CSK, he knows his chances are less to join the playing 11..

Ashwin wouldnt have taken this decision midway unless Gambhir & Vadapav forced him to.Damn suspicious, more so bc Ash wld be handful on the MCG pitch.#INDvAUS #AUSvsIND

Gambhir's political mind forced Ashwin to Take retirement to divert the topic and to hide his Failure as a head coach. pic.twitter.com/e2TBjHHbSs
