Veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has announced his retirement on Saturday from international and domestic cricket.

The legendary southpaw made the announcement this morning on his official handle on the social media platform X.

"It's important to turn the page to move forward in life and that's why I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket," Dhawan said in a video message.

"I am leaving with peace in my heart that I played for so long for India. I tell myself not to feel sad that you will not play for India anymore, but to feel happy that you played for your country," he added.
