The Indian all-rounder Rishi has announced his retirement from limited overs for India. He was playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His team, Himachal Pradesh, did not make it into the next stage of the tournament.
On his social media channels, he only mentions that he is retiring from limited-overs cricket. So, it means that he will be available for the remainder of the Ranji Season.
Rishi Dhawan is currently 34 years old and playing for Himachal Pradesh. He has also represented India four times at the international level as well. All four matches were played in 2016. He has also played in IPL as well for Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders. However, he went unsold in the recent auctions.
Here is what Rishi said in his statement.
“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.”
“From humble beginnings to representing my nation on the grandest stages, it has been a privilege beyond measure. Cricket has been my passion, and my reason for waking up every morning. 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.”
“As I embark on this transitional chapter in my life, I am filled with excitement and anticipation. There are countless challenges to conquer, new dreams to pursue, and new opportunities to embrace. I am confident that the skills and values instilled in me by cricket will guide me in this next phase.”
