Shikhar Dhawan Announces Retirement, Posts Emotional Message in X

Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, August 24-

Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from domestic and international cricket on Saturday. He took to social media to post an emotional message for fans where he announced his decision to retire from all forms of cricket.
Dhawan last played for the Indian cricket team way back in 2022 during the ODI series against Bangladesh. Dhawan posted a long video message on X (formerly Twitter) to thank his fans as well as the associations for the love and support he received throughout his career.

"I am standing at a point where when I look back, I only see memories and a new life when I look forward. It was always my dream to play for India, and I got to live it. I am thankful to a lot of people for that. First of all, my family, my childhood coaches and then my team that I played with for so many years. I got a new family, fame and love. But it is said that to move forward, you need to flip the pages," Dhawan said in a post on 'X'.

"I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket. As I bid farewell to my cricketing journey, I have peace in my heart. I played a lot for my country. I only say this to myself, that you don't need to be upset about not playing for your country again, but be happy that you had the opportunity to do so," he concluded.
