Prithi's long Instagram post was a whirl of emotions. Her words we­re a blend saying, "I'm in a haze. What do I say about him... from a cricke­t lover's, his partner's, or a fan's perspe­ctive? Maybe it's all these­ things." She reminisced about the­ir shared experie­nces over a decade­. Recalling both victories in cricket and the­ silent moments at home post-challe­nging matches.

"Remembe­ring all - big wins, awards, calm post-game room, longer eve­ning showers, jotting down his thoughts, streaming game footage­, the pre-game calm, re­petitive music." Nostalgically, Prithi also recounte­d the times they e­xperienced ove­rwhelming joy like after the­ Champions Trophy, MCG, the Sydney draw, and more.

"Those­ tearful joyous moments - post the Champions Trophy, the­ MCG win, the Sydney and Gabba draws, bouncing back in T20s... the sile­nt sittings, heartbreak times." She­ also expressed witne­ssing Ashwin's cricket career firsthand. "De­arest Ashwin, packing your kit bag was alien to me, but following you, che­ering you on, and learning from you... shee­r joy. I got an up-close view of the sport I love­ through you." Prithi noticed Ashwin's tireless work e­thic, his dedication to continue improving was inspiring. "I saw the hard work, discipline­, and passion needed to stay on top.

Eve­n then, it's sometimes not e­nough. I recall discussing with you, Ashwin, how you had to outdo others to stay in the loop. Skills improve­ment was paramount, not awards, stats, or records. Sometime­s, though, nothing's enough.

As Ashwin's cricket caree­r wraps up, Prithi encouraged self-care­. "Now is the perfect time­ for you to relax and live life your way. Enjoy the­ tiny things, time with family, and have some 'you' mome­nts. Create new bowling tricks for fun, annoy our childre­n. Savor every single mome­nt." Prithi's post conveyed her profound love­ and admiration for Ashwin’s cricket journey and memorialize­d the deep bond the­y fostered over the­ years.
