Virat Kohli also wrote a touching note for Ravichandran Ashwin on X (formerly known as Twitter). He said, “I have played with you for 14 years and when you told me that you are retiring today, it made me a little emotional and memories of all those years of playing together came to my mind. I have traveled with you. Enjoyed every moment of the game, your skill and match winning contribution to Indian cricket is second to none and you will always be remembered as a legend of Indian cricket.”
Expressing his love and gratitude towards Ravichandran Ashwin, Virat Kohli said, “Wishing you all the best in your life with your family and everything else that it unfolds for you. With great respect and lots of love towards you and your near and dear ones. Thanks for everything, friend.” The note was attached with a picture of Kohli and Ashwin, who is the second-highest wicket-taker for India, celebrating a moment on the field.
