New Delhi (News International / Pakistan New - NNI. 21 December 2024) Preethi, the wife of retired Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin, has said in a message to her husband on social media that dear Ashwin, from not knowing you to living with you, everything has been extremely joyful. In her emotional post, Ashwin's wife wrote that these 2 days have been quite a blur for me, I am thinking about what to say, should I pay tribute to the most favorite cricketer of my life, say something as my life partner or write him a love letter as a fan girl, I think it is something of all of these.

Preethi wrote that when I thought about Ashwin's last 13-14 years, many memories came to my mind, including important achievements, those moments when he would run longer than usual after the match, write his thoughts on paper, watch his videos repeatedly, plan for the match, take deep breaths before going to the field for each match and listen to some songs repeatedly.

In her emotional message, the cricketer's wife wrote that I remember those moments when we cried with joy, when we achieved important achievements, after the CT final, after the win at the MCG, after the draw in Sydney, on the victory at the Gabba, on the comeback in T20 and I remember the time when our hearts were broken and we sat in silence. She wrote that dear Ashwin, the journey from not knowing you, to being with you, seeing you, learning from you, all this has been extremely joyful.

Preethi wrote, “The world you introduced me to gave me the privilege of seeing and enjoying the game that I loved so much. It also made me realize how much passion, hard work and discipline it takes to make and maintain your place in this game.” Ashwin’s wife wrote, “Now that your brilliant international career has come to an end, I just want to tell you that everything is good, everything is going to be good in the future, now is the time to reduce the burden on yourself and live life on your own terms.” Preethi wrote, “Now is the time to make room for extra calories, make time for your family, make time to do nothing, share memes all day, introduce new changes to bowling, spend time with your kids, just do it all now.”
