Ravichandran Ashwin landed back home in Chennai less than 24 hours after shocking the cricket world on Wednesday with his retirement from international cricket midway through India's tour of Australia.
The off-spinner received a warm welcome by his family, besides his close friends and neighbours who had gathered to pay tribute to Ashwin's legendary career, as he ended his 14-year journey with 537 Test wickets -- which is only second to Anil Kumble's 619 wickets.
