The world of social media on Thursday, December 19, seemed in a state of number even after a day of the former India stalwart Ravichandran Ashwin announcing his retirement from international cricket. Some young and former cricketers who groomed their skills while being the teammate of the legendary spinner, paid their tribute. In the same vein, the ace legspinner Amit Mishra appreciated Ashwin’s contribution to Indian cricket.
Apart from him, pacer T Natarajan wished ‘Ashwin Anna’ the best for his future endeavours and how inspired young cricketers. Meanwhile, in another notable trend, the former India international, Aakash Chopra, shared his views and concerns regarding the downfall of Prithvi Shaw. Notably, Shaw was left out of the Mumbai Squad for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. Besides, Punjab Kings wished the former Australia Captain and current head coach of the IPL (Indian Premier League) franchise on his 50th birthday.
