    'Team Has Complete Backing Of His Thought Process': Rohit On Ashwin’s Retirement

    Captain Rohit Sharma: Captain Rohit Sharma praised India's premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin's decision to retire from international cricket, saying "some decisions are very personal" and the entire team has complete backing of Ashwin's thought process.

    The 38-year-old broke the news of his retirement after India’s fourth Test against Australia in Brisbane ended in a draw. He ended his career with 537 wickets at an average of 24 in 106 Tests and became India’s second-leading wicket-taker after legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble. He also scored six Test centuries and 14 fifties with the bat. His last international game was the day-night Test in Adelaide, where he took 1-53.

    "See some decisions are very personal and I don't think questions should be asked or raised? Yeah, if a player has a choice, he has to be given that choice and somebody like Ash, who's been there for us for so many years, is allowed to make those kinds of decisions on his own. And we as teammates have to respect it. He was very sure about what he wanted to do. And the team has complete backing of his thought process," Rohit said in the post-match press conference.
