Ex-India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that Rohit Sharma and ex-India head coach Rahul Dravid asked him to leave the squad immediately during India-England Test at Rajkot in 2024 after he took his 500th wicket due to family emergency. "When captain and coach [were]...supportive, I felt like I wanted to come back. I play for people who value me," he added.
