Rishi Dhawan Announces Retirement
“It’s with a heavy heart, even though I have no regrets, that I’d like to announce my retirement from Indian cricket (Limited over). It’s a sport that has defined my life for the past 20 years. This game has given me immeasurable joy and countless memories that would always stay very close to my heart,” he announced in a social media post.
“I want to take a moment to show my gratitude towards the opportunities that were given to me by Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA), Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Kolkata Knight Riders. I would like to thank all of my coaches, mentors, teammates, and support staff for the valuable contributions you have made to shaping me into the person I am today,” he went on to write.
“To all the fans, you have been the blood and soul of this game for me. Your cheers and chants will always be close to my heart. I will forever cherish the love and adulation that you have showered upon me. Thank you so much, because your support makes cricket truly special. The last but not the least is my family. It would not have been possible for me to achieve, live, or even dream of any of this without them. My unwavering support and love from them have truly driven me forward in life and in the game of cricket,” he concluded.
A retirement from limited-overs cricket suggests that he will still be available to play in first-class cricket, that being the Ranji Trophy for Himachal Pradesh. But that is not known at the moment.
