Ashwin has been a popular choice for brands running campaigns in South India

Ravinchandran Ashwin announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket after the third Test match of the ongoing India-Australia series came to an end.

Ashwin, who was not picked for the first and third Tests, addressed the press to make the announcement but did not take any questions.

Ashwin is second on the list of wicket takers from India, just behind Anil Kumble. He's also got six Test hundreds. He was part of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup winning squad from 2011.

He also has his YouTube channel which is fairly popular with more than 16 lakh subscribers, 

With numbers like those, in a cricket-obsessed nation, one would think Ashwin would be a brand favourite, however, he doesn't feature in the top five athletes in Kroll's Celebrity Brand Valuation Report.

Having said that, he has appeared in a fair share of advertisements, especially for brands targetting consumers from South India. 

Here are 10 ads featuring the cricketer:
