Has Ashwin asked Virat to retire? (PC-PTI)

Australia tour is proving to be very painful for Virat Kohli. This right-handed batsman could not even open his account in Perth and Adelaide ODIs and meanwhile, former cricketer R Ashwin has posted such a picture on social media, after which there is a stir. Actually, R Ashwin posted a picture after Team India's defeat in Adelaide in which Wright's signature is there. It is of tricolor color and it is written below it – Just Leave It. Meaning leave it now. Fans are associating this picture posted by Ashwin with Virat Kohli.

Did Ashwin tell this to Virat?

After this tweet by Ashwin, fans raised questions on social media whether these players are writing all this for Virat Kohli? Is Virat Kohli going to say goodbye to ODI cricket now? One fan even wrote that Ashwin is giving a message to Virat that leave cricket before cricket leaves you.

bad condition of virat kohli

Virat Kohli is in bad condition on Australia tour. Virat Kohli was out after playing 8 balls in Perth. He had Connolly caught on Mitchell Starc's outgoing ball. In Adelaide ODI, Virat Kohli was out LBW on the incoming ball of young fast bowler Xavier Bartlett. Virat was out LBW for the first time since 2012 on Australian soil in ODI. Virat's body language also does not seem to be the same as before. In such a situation, it is feared that this player may soon say goodbye to international cricket.
