WTN- Former Team India opening batsman Gautam Gambhir and a member of World Cup winning Indian team of 2011, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, saying his time to continue with the game was over. Gambhir, who helped lead India to the 2011 World Cup, said that retiring from the game was one of the "most difficult decisions" of his life.
The 37-year-old Delhi batsman announced his decision in a post on his Twitter handle.
He played all formats of the game. As a left-handed opening batsman he played domestic cricket for Delhi, and captained Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Bangladesh in 2003, and played his first Test the following year against Australia. He captained the Indian team in six ODIs from late-2010 to late-2011 with India winning all six matches. He played an integral part in India's wins in the finals of both the 2007 World Twenty20 ( 75 runs from 54 balls) and the 2011 Cricket World Cup ( 97 from 122).
