India Today  

Ravichandran Ashwin reiterated that he harbours no regrets about his international career and that he does not believe in the concept of grand farewells. The off-spinner, who retired from international cricket on December 18, responded to Kapil Dev's remarks suggesting Ashwin deserved a ceremonious exit from the sport at the highest level. Former World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev commented that Ashwin appeared unhappy at the time of his decision and opined that the off-spinner "deserved a much better, fitting farewell." I think grand send-offs are part of a super celebrity culture," Ashwin said during a conversation with television presenter Gobinath on a YouTube show. I DIDN'T CRY ONE BIT AFTER RETIRING: ASHWIN Ashwin emphasised that retiring was entirely his decision and marked only the end of his international cricket journey.
