Happy Retirement Gabbar ❤️ |
Shikhar Dhawan has announced his retirement from international and domestic cricket through a social media post on Saturday morning. Dhawan's last competitive game was in April, leading Punjab Kings in IPL 2024. He retires with 24 hundreds (17 in ODIs and seven in Tests) across 269 international matches.
The southpaw took to social media to convey the heartfelt decision. The 38-year-old's international career spanned over 12 years with him featuring in 34 Tests, 167 ODIs and 68 T20Is, scoring 10,867 runs.
On a video posted on his social media account, Dhawan said, "I am standing at that juncture in my life where I can only see the past memories. My dream was always to play for India and it came true and for that I'm grateful to a lot of people. My family, my coaches Tarak Sinha and Madan Sharma, under whom I learnt to play cricket. Also my team, the people I played with for years. I got another family in them. I got fame and fortune and the love of everyone.
"But it's important to turn the page to move forward in life and that's why I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket.
"And now that I'm concluding my cricket journey, there's peace in my heart, that I played a lot for my country. I'm grateful to all my fans for all the love. I've told myself don't feel sad that you won't play for India anymore, but feel happy that you played for the country."
