India spinner Harbhajan Singh announces retirement from all forms of competitive cricket

Harbhajan Singh, one of the best spinners India has ever produced, has decided to hang his boots from all forms of cricket. Harbhajan made this announcement wearing an India blazer.

Veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday took to social media to announce his retirement from all forms of competitive cricket. Harbhajan, the first Indian to take a Test hat-trick, is fondly remembered for his sensational display of bowling in the historic 2001 Border-Gavaskar series against Australia where he took a record of 32 wickets in 3 matches to revive his cricketing career. All good things come to an end and today as I bid adieu to the game that has given me everything in life, I would like to thank everyone who made this 23-year-long journey beautiful and memorable.My heartfelt thank you Grateful .https://t.co/iD6WHU46MU

Harbhajan Singh is among the few players who have been part of India’s historic World Cup triumphs in 2007 (T20) and 2011. He picked up 7 wickets, bowling in tough phases in the inaugural T20 World Cup leading the spin-bowling attack in 2011 as India outclassed arch-rivals Pakistan in the semi-final before beating Sri Lanka in the final.
