The unexpected decision raised eyebrows among cricket experts, as the legendary bowler retired with two matches still left in the series. Notably, Washington Sundar was preferred over Ashwin in the playing XI in the first Test. Ashwin was recalled for the second Test but he was again dropped for the third Test.
"If somebody has to have angst against Gautam, it's me, right? I I come out on his second tour or third tour when he's been the coach. Gautam, the coach, has got a job to do for me in many ways, and even if he thought that I must move on or Virat must move on or Rohit must move on, it's okay; it's fine because he has a job to do, and at that particular instance, if I felt bitter about it that's also okay because it's my emotion, but if you detach yourself from that, it's clear to me that he's got a job to do and maybe I do not have a future in his regime," said Ashwin during the RevSports Conclave.
