Even World Cup winner Kapil Dev is shocked by Ashwin’s retirement from international cricket and believes that the star off-spinner deserves a better farewell, especially on home soil. It seemed from his face that Ashwin was worried about something.
Kapil Dev said that the fans are disappointed but I have also seen expressions of disappointment on their faces. He deserved a better send off. Kapil Dev said that I would like to know the reason for his retirement. He could have waited and announced his retirement on Indian soil but I don’t understand why he suddenly took such a decision. He was worthy of respect. He has played 106 test matches for the country. I don’t think anyone can match his contribution to Indian cricket. I hope BCCI manages a grand farewell for Ashwin. Ashwin was always ready to take decisions. He was constantly troubling the batsmen with his pace and clever line length.
