Now Ashwin's reaction has come on why he took such a decision?Everyone has spoken on this matter and in the end Ashwin spoke openly about his decision to retire. Ashwin scored 28 runs in 23 balls with the help of two sixes. Talking to Cricbuzz, he said, "It was a matter of moment. It's a team game, which we often forget in excitement, but then it's an important aspect of the game that we haven't considered." Calling it a team game, Ashwin also argued for playing football.Ashwin said, "T20 is a team game as we all know. It is almost like football. Goal scorers are like your opener or wicket-taker, but they are worth it only if your goalkeeper or The defender should be ready to do so and let him decide."
