Ashwin recently retired from the IPL. The 38-year-old hinted at possibly participating in T20 leagues around the world in the future. He struggled with the ball in his final IPL season, as he managed just seven wickets in nine games, with an average of 40.42 and an economy rate exceeding nine runs per over.
“Stellar career. It has got to be said, what a wonderful player. What a scientist of the game. A doctor, professor of the game. He always took it to the limits of the rules book. Generally got it right, even though he was frowned upon a little bit. I have a lot of respect for guys who study the game, and he was one of such cricketers,” said de Villiers during a 360 Live session on X.
Ravichandran Ashwin Should Have Always Stayed at CSK - AB de Villiers
“Incredible skill. A huge player and icon in India. He won so many games for Team India and CSK over the years. He played for other teams but never felt settled at those teams. In my opinion, he should have always stayed at CSK. Obviously, it was not up to him, as a lot of things go into that retention, all kinds of team selection. But I will always remember him as a yellow jersey guy,” added the RCB legend.
