India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has joined in paying a tribute to retired cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin, who stunned the fraternity by calling it quits after the third Test against Australia in Brisbane. The two-page letter from Modi has gone viral on social media as he congratulated Ashwin on an illustrious career and observed how the veteran managed to make everyone proud.
Ashwin will go down as India’s most successful off-spinner as and their second-highest wicket-taker in Tests with 537 and a total of 765 international scalps. The Tamil Nadu-born cricketer final match for India was the one in Adelaide which the tourists lost by ten wickets. He is also the most prolific off-spinner produced by India.
