Virat Kohli and Ravi Ashwin
On a rain-interrupted final day during the third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia in Brisbane, fans witnessed an emotional moment between two of their favourite cricketers, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin. As the rain stopped the game at the Gabba, Indian stars, Virat Kohli and Ravi Ashwin shared a heartfelt moment in the Indian dressing room.
This incident came just after Australia declared their innings on 89-7 and set India a tricky target of 275 runs from 54 overs.
However, as the rain-delayed play, Kohli and Ashwin were seen engaged in a deep and meaningful conversation that lasted over 30 minutes. Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, they discussed cricket and perhaps much more. The conversation ended with Kohli wrapping his arms around Ashwin.
Enough to make us cry! 🥹

However, the rain played a spoiled sport which resulted in the 3rd test match between India and Australia ending in a draw.
After The Gabba Test ended in a draw, Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket in the post-match press conference with Rohit by his side. An emotional Ashwin left the press conference after making the announcement.
The legendary off-spinner started his test career against West Indies in 2011, after that he became a valuable asset to the India team and has tasted success everywhere. He ended his extraordinary career with 537 wickets.
The fourth test match will be played in the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground which will start from December 26 to 30.
