NEW DELHI: Ravindra Jadeja has expressed that he will deeply miss Ravichandran Ashwin, whom he regarded as an on-field mentor. Ashwin shocked the cricketing fraternity by announcing his retirement midway through the ongoing Test series against Australia, despite seemingly having more to offer to the game.
The 38-year-old leaves an indelible mark on Indian cricket, retiring as the country’s second-highest wicket-taker in Tests with 537 wickets in 106 matches, second only to Anil Kumble’s 619 scalps.
