He hung his boots from all forms of international cricket on December 18, 2024, after the third Test at Gabba ended on a draw due to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after Ashwin&#8217;s retirement, reports came out suggesting that head coach Gautam Gambhir is responsible for this sudden retirement decision by the veteran spinner, especially when there were some conversations between the two before he bid farewell to international cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashwin, who has travelled back to India as of now, said that the decision to retire was completely his own decision, and only marked the end of his international cricket journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>I quit this part of my life. It was a full stop to that part of my life. I can talk cricket, I do YouTube, I love coaching. I can keep myself happy around cricket. I will stay connected with cricket<\/em><\/strong>,&#8221; Ashwin said during a conversation with television presenter Gobinath on a YouTube show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>I don\u2019t have any regrets; I am not angry at anyone. I didn\u2019t cry even one bit. No one else is responsible for my retirement. If there\u2019s someone, I am not aware of it<\/em><\/strong>,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashwin will now be seen playing with players such as MS Dhoni in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has bought him in the mega auctions that took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legendary India spinner R Ashwin denied the reports of head coach Gautam Gambhir being the reason for him announcing his retirement, and said that the decision to retire was completely his own decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":666,"featured_media":1217781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[336,162,170,99110,236],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ravichandran Ashwin breaks speculations on Gautam Gambhir being &#039;Responsible&#039;
