After Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has announced his retirement from T20 international cricket.
Jadeja shared this news via an Instagram post, stating that while he will no longer play T20Is, he will continue to represent India in other formats. This announcement came after India defeated South Africa by seven runs to win the T20 World Cup.
In his Instagram post, Ravindra Jadeja wrote, “From the bottom of my heart, I say goodbye to T20 internationals. I have always given my best for my country and will continue to do so in other formats as well. Winning the T20 World Cup was a dream come true in my T20 international career. Thanks for the memories, enthusiasm, and immense support.”
