Shikhar Dhawan Retirement: Gabbar i.e. Shikhar Dhawan, who has been out of the Indian cricket team for a long time, has finally lost his patience. Taking a big decision, Shikhar has announced his retirement from international and domestic cricket on Saturday. This means that fans will no longer be able to see Shikhar Dhawan batting. He has announced his retirement by sharing a video on the social media platform ‘X’.
Left-handed veteran batsman Shikhar Dhawan said through the video, “Hello friends! Today I am standing at such a turning point, from where when I look back, I see a lot of memories and when I look ahead, I see the whole world. I always had only one goal – to play for India and it happened. For this, I would like to thank many people, my family, my childhood coach Tariq Sinha, Madan Sharma, under whom I learned cricket. Then my team with whom I played for years. I got a new family. I got a name. I got company. I got a lot of love. It is said that to move forward in the story, it is necessary to turn the pages. I am also going to do the same. I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket.”
The Indian batsman, famous as Gabbar in the cricket world, further said, “Now that I am saying goodbye to this cricket journey, there is a peace in my heart that I played for the country for a long time. I would also like to thank BCCI and DDCA for showing faith in me. I also thank my fans, who gave me a lot of love. I just tell myself that you should not be sad that now you will not play for the country, rather be happy that you played a lot for the country.”
As I close this chapter of my cricketing journey, I carry with me countless memories and gratitude. Thank you for the love and support! Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
