Prithi Narayanan, wife of Ravichandran Ashwin, penned down a heartfelt message for Ashwin after the off-spinner bid adieu to international cricket following the third Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Brisbane. Prithi said that the last couple of days were a bit "blurry" for her as she was trying to come to terms with her husband's sudden retirement. She also talked about her experiences watching Ashwin making preparations for matches and seeing how he dealt with wins and losses in the matches. Here is what Prithi wrote on her Instagram feed "It has been a blurry two days for me. I have been thinking about what I can say.. Do I put this down as a tribute to my all-time favourite cricketer? Maybe I'll just take the partner angle? Or maybe a love letter from a fan girl? I guess this is a little bit of all of it. When I saw Ashwins PC, I thought of small and big moments. Many many memories over the last 13-14 years," "The big wins, the MOS awards, the quiet silence in our room after an intense game, the sound of the shower running for much longer than usual on some evenings post play , the scratch of pencil over paper as he scribbled thoughts down, the constant streaming of footage videos when he is making a game plan, the calm of meditative breathing before leaving for each game, certain songs playing on repeat while he unwinds.. The times we weeped in joy - after the CT final, after the MCG win, after the Sydney draw, The Gabba win, after making a comeback in T20s…the times we sat in silence and the times when we had our hearts broken," she added.

She also recalled how Ashwin always tried to improve his bowling to be on top of the sport. In the end, she advised the 38-year-old to live life on his own terms after putting his foot down on his illustrious international career. Speaking of the career of Ravichandran Ashwin, the megical off-spin finished his international career with playing 106 Tests, 116 ODI, and 65 T20Is for India. He bagged 537, 156, and 72 wickets in the three formats, respectively. The veteran will continue playing in the domestic as he is set to represent Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League 2025.
