Ashwin's last walk as an international player

Ashwin's last walk as an international player

A camera followed Ashwin as he walked to the press conference room to announce his retirement on Wednesday, and then went back to the Indian team's dining area, all the while capturing the sombre mood that had nothing to do with the dark clouds that had brought a premature end to India's third Test against Australia.

The atmosphere remained subdued to respect the end of a remarkable cricket career.

In his 106 Tests, the 38-year-old from Chennai took a remarkable 537 wickets, becoming the seventh most successful bowler in Test history and a member of an elite 500-plus wicket club with just nine members.

Through that final stroll through the belly of the Brisbane Cricket Stadium, Ashwin received warm handshakes from everyone who passed by. Matthew Hayden was one. Chris Gaffney and Richard Illingworth, the umpires in a match that was Ashwin's last involvement as an India team player. And so did Ranjan Madugalle, the former Sri Lanka batter who is the ICC match referee.
