Kedar Jadhav declares his retirement from cricket in all formats

Kedar Jadhav made the announcement on social media, saying he is retiring from all forms of cricket. In the ODI series against Bangladesh in June 2014, Jadhav made his debut for India. Since then, he has participated in 73 One-Day Internationals for the Indian squad, finishing with 1389 runs at an average of 42.09, six half-centuries, and two tonnes of runs. On February 8, 2020, he represented India in his final international match.

He played in just nine T20 matches, hence his career was brief. He scored 122 runs at an average of 20.33 in six T20I innings, his highest total being 58 runs. He took 27 wickets in One-Day Internationals and was a useful middle-pacer for the side. He was forced to make place for the younger players after being ignored by the Indian squad due to the rise of players like Suryakumar Yadav and spinning all-rounder Axar Patel.

“I appreciate all of your love and support starting at 1500 hours in my career. In his Instagram post, Jadhav stated, “Consider me retired from all forms of cricket.”

Kedar Jadhav’s sporadic cricketing career

Because to his success on the local circuit, Jadhav was dubbed the “natural T20 player.” When he was selected for the Indian Premier League 2008–09 by the Delhi Daredevils, it was clear. In just 29 balls, he scored a scorching 50 and attracted attention. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru then signed him in 2016.

When India visited Zimbabwe in 2015, he scored an incredible century while playing for India. Despite not getting to bat for the entire series, he was once more called into the squad for the 2016 Zimbabwe tour. His five-match ODI series against New Zealand in 2016 marked the beginning of his full-fledged engagement with the team. He was also a member of the Indian team that competed in the 2017 Champions Trophy.
