The DADA of indian cricket, cited the most successful ever captain of indian team, the most explosive batsmen of his time had announced his retirement from international cricket after the indian australian test series
In the latest press conference in Bangalore he announced that he is gonna retire after australian series."Just one last thing lads, before I leave, I just want to say that this is going to be my last series"
There was a lot of hype in media these days about retiring of senior cricketers from cricket which had obviously pressurize a lot of seniors to rethink about their presence in team. He was left out from cricket earlier but he made a strong come back to it and proved that he has cricket left in him. Most probably or you can say of course he will be continuing to play in IPL with KKR as captain.A slight look at his career:
Test matches:
109 matches ,6888 runs with average of 41.75 an highest score of 239 with 15 centuries and ofcourse 32 wickets. This gonna change with coming series.
ODI:
311 matches with 11363 runs with highest of unforgettable 183 runs, average little above 41 and 22 centuries and a total of 100 wickets.
Will always be remembered for his partnerships with Sachin, his captaincy in 2003 WC,his ability to win matches on his own(32 MOM) , his respect in team, his great comeback in team and ofcourse due to some controversies with Greg Chappell.
