India's legendary off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Ashwin made the announcement on August 27, months ahead of the mini-auction for the 2026 edition.
"Special day and hence a special beginning. They say every ending will have a new start, my time as an IPL cricketer comes to a close today, but my time as an explorer of the game around various leagues begins today," Ashwin wrote on X (previously Twitter) as he hinted that he might be open to playing in the franchise tournaments around the world.
