Shikhar Dhawan Bids Farewell to International Cricket

Shikhar Dhawan Announces His Retirement From International Cricket

He announced his retirement from international cricket through the video in an emotional way, marking the end of a glorious journey. Dhawan, who is an impact player with his aggressive batting and colorful personality, will leave a big, unseen hole in the cricketing world.

Early Life and Career

Dhawan, born on December 5, 1985, in Delhi, started his journey from the busy streets of the capital. He showed the first-reminded with his rising in home cricket and later advanced toward Australia to make his ODI debut again at some stage in 2010. His debut in Test cricket, and he stamped his authority straight away with a century2 that was also the fastest ever by an Indian against Australia.

Contributions to Cricket

There is so much that Dhawan has given to cricket. Bhupinder played a role at the top, walked out as an opener, and provided India with those foundations from which to build—or even attempt one of his own. His tenacity and quick-scoring ability became very entertaining to the fans. In his career, he scored over 6.000 runs in ODIs and more than 2,000 runs in Tests. He and Rohit Sharma had one of the most successful opening partnerships in ODI history.

Achievements

The career of Dhawan: He scored 187 off only 174 balls in his debut Test and recorded the fastest century on a bowler-friendly track against Australia 2. He was a regular performer in ICC one-day tournaments, so he got another nickname, “Mr. ICC,” for his run-scoring abilities. The leading run scorer in the 2013 and 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, he led India to victory at the latter.

Dhawan was also equally influential for his IPL team. He is one of the leading run-scorers in this tournament and also scored most 4s3. His performances for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals were crucial to their successes over the years.

Legacy

Perhaps as important to remember was that Dhawan was much more than just his numbers. He donned a flamboyant demeanor and was known for his unmissable signature twirl of the mustache that quickly turned him into one of cricket’s most loveable characters. He was a role model for so many kids aspiring to play competitive cricket from the streets of Delhi, making it big on the international arena.

With Dhawan walking away from international cricket, his achievements in the limited-overs format will be remembered and saluted. His story is one of perseverance, determination, and a pure love for the game. He may no longer be around in the blue shirt for his fans, but he shall always remain alive as a human being who inspired generations of cricketers.
