India's celebrated off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin revealed his decision to retire from international cricket moments after the Brisbane Test ended in a draw on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the Chennai-born player received a warm welcome after he arrived at his residence in Chennai, a day after announcing his retirement. "It's emotional for a lot of people. It will be emotional, maybe it will sink in. But for me, it's a great sense of relief and satisfaction. It had been running in my head for a while but it was very instinctive. I felt it on day 4 and called it on day 5," Ashwin told a news agency.
