Great spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that he should have played Test cricket for one or two more years. On Monday, the Indian team's star batsman Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket. He informed about this decision on social media. Ashwin talked about King Kohli's Test career on his YouTube channel. During this, the former spinner told which specialty of Virat makes him different from the rest.

This specialty of Virat impressed Ashwin.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said - His energy level made him different from the rest. Be it batting, captaincy, or just being a competitor. Sometimes I wanted to ask Virat, 'What did you have for breakfast today?' The right-handed batsman scored 9230 runs, including 30 centuries in 123 Tests for India at an average of 46.85.

'Should have played for one or two more years.'

Ashwin believes that Virat should have played Test cricket for one or two more years. He further said- I think Virat had one or two more years left for Test cricket. This question has been going on in my mind for some time now. Could his energy level be the reason for this retirement? Maybe he felt that he no longer had the mental capacity to play at full strength every minute.

'How players fail by their standards'

Discussing Virat's retirement, Ashwin also mentioned how players come under the pressure of the standards they have set. He said- The pursuit of excellence can sometimes lead to your failure in the game. Sometimes the standards you set for yourself can trouble you. From the team's point of view, his 'low' standard also proved to be effective.

The Australia tour became a problem for Indian cricket.

India's recent Australia tour put an end to the careers of three veteran Indian players. Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had said goodbye to his international career in the middle of the tour. At the same time, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from Tests within a week this month. Both of them have already retired from T20 Internationals. Now Rohit and Virat will be seen playing only in ODIs.
