Ashwin reveals ‘mentally disturbing, painful’ final stint with CSK in 2025 which pushed him to retirement

Ashwin, a CSK stalwart who featured in the side from 2008-15 as one of its lead players and had a homecoming season last year and won two IPL titles with Men in Yellow, was speaking on his YouTube channel ‘Ash ki Baat’. After announcing his retirement from international cricket in early 2025 amid a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he pulled down the curtains on his IPL career too in August last year.
