Sachin Tendulkar FaceTimes, Kapil Dev calls on WhatsApp: Ashwin dedicates special 'heart attack' post to India legends

Ravichandran Ashwin is a cricketing legend, a mastermind of the game. He is part of many glorious chapters with the Indian cricket team, which include the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. The carrom-ball specialist, one of his most lethal weapons, earlier this week drew curtains on his illustrious career, retiring as India's second highest wicket-taker in Tests.

The decision to retire, however, came in one of the most unexpected fashion. The 38-year-old was part of the Indian squad in Australia and midway during the tour, which was after the third Test, Ashwin shocked the world by calling quits.

Ever since the announcement, many, including the cricket fraternity, have come forward to congratulate the spinner on a memorable ride. Ashwin, who we all know remains active on social media, mostly X (formerly Twitter), has responded to some of the messages. While doing so Ashwin also casually a dropped a list featuring India legends Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev and dedicated a special "heart attack" post to the duo.
