Tillu Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) India batter Shikhar Dhawan has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Saturday, 24 August. 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 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 with whom I played 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." ICC Edited August 24 by Tillu Link to comment

The Realist Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Shame. Thought Gambhir would build new era around returns of Dhawan and Rahane. Quality player. Bought much more to the party than meek & depressed Rahul. Link to comment

Ultimate_Game Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 One of the clutchest ICC tiurney players, especially in the ODIS. From 2013 till 2019 he was our best ICC tourney player in ODIs. If he hadn't been injured in 2019, would've gotten us past NZ in SFs. Well played Shikhar and have a wonderful retirement! Link to comment
