A Carrom Ball That Bowled Everyone: PM Writes To Ashwin On His Retirement
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his heartiest congratulations to off-spin maestro Ravichandran Ashwin on his illustrious career who retired from international cricket. The PM said the latter's "jersey no. 99 will be sorely missed" in the cricket field.
Concluding his 14-year international career after the Gabba Test ended in a draw, Ashwin has left behind a rich legacy as one of India’s greatest match-winners. His last international game was the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide, where he took 1-53 in his 18 overs and made 29 runs with the bat.
In his letter, PM Modi described Ashwin’s retirement as a surprising twist and equated it to an unexpected carrom ball instead of the anticipated off-breaks.
