PM Modi congratulated R Ashwin on his retirement from international cricket. He also cknowledged Ashwin’s significant contributions to the sport and expressed he will be missed badly.

He also noted that Ashwin’s jersey number 99 would be particularly missed on the cricket field.

Ashwin’s 14-year international career came to an end following a draw in the Gabba Test. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy as one of India’s most successful match-winners. His final international appearance was in the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide. In that match, he recorded figures of 1-53 in 18 overs and contributed 29 runs with the bat.

In a personal letter to Ashwin, PM Modi expressed his surprise at the retirement announcement, comparing it to an unexpected “carrom ball.”
