The Indian forerunner Gautam Gambhir, who played a key role in India's two World Cup triumphs, announced his retirement from cricket, saying that "It'sover Gauti's irritable noise" triumphed over his willingness to continue.

The 37-year-old, in a video message on his social media pages, said that the Ranji Trophy match against Andhra Pradesh starting on Thursday will be his last competitive game.

The aggressive open was India's top scorer in the finals of the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa and the 2011 ODI World Cup, both won by the country.

Gambhir, one of India's most successful batsman, has been out with the national team for a while now after a fit dive and the last played a test in 2016 against England.

"The thought was with me day and night, he travelled with me on flights like annoying excess baggage, he accompanied me to training sessions, making fun of me like a threatening bowler ... On other days he did my dinner is horrible, "Gambhir said, elaborating his thought process leading to Tuesday's decision.

Gambhir carried out 58 tests for India, accumulating 4154 runs at an average of 41.95. Its 147 ODI games achieved 5238 runs, while in 37 T20 International it obtained 932 runs.

The whimsical left, which has recently launched controversy for its explicit views on political issues, has had a prolific first-class career, which has gone through 197 games and produced 15,041 races. His rack account A is 10,077.

"Every time I went out to play for India, or KKR or Delhi Daredevils, this thought turned into a loud, disturbing noise and walked with me to the locker room shouting that" it's over Gauti, "he explained.

Gambhir said that the thought has become oppressive during the IPL of 2014, the lowest reflux are three consecutive ducks in the tournament and things have gone worse for him later.

"I was looking for my confidence in that deep, dark hole, but I could only get my hands on the same high and disturbing noise, saying the same:" It's over Gauti, "he said.

Gambhir, who recently caught criticism for buying his Delhi Ranji appearances, said he tried to make a comeback in this year's IPL, but failed to make it.

"After a fair home season of 2017, I entered this year's IPL with confidence as my best friend. I thought all those negative noises were dead. But I was wrong. The six IPL games for Delhi Daredevils were back. stronger than before Maybe my time had expired Yes, my time was up, "he said.

"So here I am, after more than 15 years of cricket for my country, I want to retire from playing this wonderful game," he added.

Intending to go through the same "pains" and "fears and failures" all over again in his next life as a cricketer, Gambhir said that being the best ever in the two World Cup finals will remain the highest point of his career.

The other chapters of this kind in his career included being the ICC test batsman of the year in 2009 and being part of a world-leading Indian test team.

"The time series win in New Zealand and in the CB series in Australia will be reflected on affectionately," he said.

He refused to define his international career, which began in 2003 with an ODI against Bangladesh, completely satisfying, but certainly the kind he would have looked on with affection.

"I feel like I was good enough for a lot more," he said.

In the video, Gambhir thanked his coaches, teammates and family members for stopping by him.


"At some point, I'd like to lose the retired cricket player's label and would like to recycle myself to be useful for something else in cricket and beyond." He added.
