Following the lead of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja has announced his retirement from T20 Internationals after India’s victory in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Jadeja shared the news on social media, posting a picture of himself with the World Cup trophy in the dressing room after a thrilling 7-run win against South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
“With a heart full of gratitude, I bid farewell to T20 internationals. Like a steadfast horse galloping with pride, I have always given my best for my country and will continue to do so in other formats. Winning the T20 World Cup was a dream come true and the pinnacle of my T20 International career. Thank you for the memories, the cheers, and the unwavering support,” Jadeja wrote.
Jadeja, known for contributing handy runs and being effective with the ball, made his T20I debut against Sri Lanka back in 2009.
Primarily celebrated for his bowling skills in white-ball cricket, the crafty left-arm spinner has taken 54 wickets in 74 matches and scored 515 runs at a strike rate of 127.16.
