Ashwin’s era of dominance spreads across two decades, during which he redefined the art of spin bowling with his hunger to learn and constantly improve as a player. On Day 5 of the Brisbane Test, Gambhir was present when Ashwin and Virat Kohli shared a heartfelt moment. The emotions that appeared on Ashwin’s face suggested the big announcement would be made at the end of the day.
