India cricketer Kedar Jadhav has bid farewell to the game, announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket. The 39-year-old’s decision mirrors the iconic style of former Indian captain MS Dhoni, emphasizing the strong bond between the two cricketers. Jadhav took to Instagram, sharing a heartfelt message: “Thank you all for your love and support throughout my career. Consider me retired from all forms of cricket” .
Jadhav’s international journey began in 2014 when he made his debut against Sri Lanka in Ranchi. His most memorable moment came during the 2017 ODI against England, where he combined with Virat Kohli to stitch together a remarkable 200-run partnership, helping India chase down a daunting 351 in Pune. His Player-of-the-Match performance outshined even Kohli’s century.
In ODIs, Jadhav amassed 1389 runs in 52 innings at an average of 42.09, including two centuries and six fifties. With the ball, he claimed 27 wickets at an economy of 5.15. His sustained presence in the ODI set-up began in 2016, and he played a crucial role as a finisher for the national side. Jadhav was also part of India’s 2019 World Cup squad, contributing with both bat and ball.
His domestic success was equally impressive. In the 2013-14 Ranji Trophy, he emerged as the highest run-scorer of the season, amassing 1223 runs, including six centuries. Jadhav’s IPL journey spanned 93 matches, where he scored 1196 runs for various franchises.
Jadhav’s retirement marks the end of an era, leaving behind memories of thrilling knocks and unwavering commitment to the game. Cricket fans worldwide salute his contributions, and we wish him a fulfilling post-cricket life.
