When Virat Kohli was seen having a warm conversation with Ravichandran Ashwin in the Indian dressing room during the final stages of the Gabba Test against Australia on Wednesday, speculation was rife about India's ace off-spinner announcing his retirement, which he later made official -- pulling the curtains down on his glorious 14-year international career.
"This will be my last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at an international level," said the 38-year-old Ashwin, while sitting alongside his captain, Rohit Sharma, in the press conference after the rain-hit third Test in Brisbane ended in a draw on the final day.
