Ravichandran Ashwin Announces Shocking IPL Retirement

Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India’s finest cricketing minds and legendary off-spinners, has officially retired from the Indian Premier League (IPL), bringing an end to a decorated domestic T20 career. Having last played for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2025, the veteran’s announcement marks the end of an era. With his exit from both international and IPL circuits, Ashwin now sets his sights on exploring global T20 leagues, an opportunity made possible only after stepping away from Indian cricket.

The End of a Glorious IPL Chapter

Ashwin debuted in IPL in 2009 and went on to play 221 matches.

Represented multiple franchises including CSK, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Rajasthan Royals.

Ended his IPL career with,

  • 187 wickets

  • Highest score of 50
  • Strike rate: 118.15

According to BCCI rules, Indian players can only play in foreign T20 leagues after retiring from both international and IPL cricket.

Ashwin retired from international cricket in December 2024 after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
