Amit Mishra retires from all forms of cricket
Veteran Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, drawing the curtains on a beautiful career that spanned more than two decades. He was actively involved in all forms of cricket, representing India in 22 Tests, 36 ODIs, and 10 T20Is. He has 76 wickets in Tests, 64 in ODIs, and 16 in T20Is. He made his last appearance in international cricket in 2017; however, he extensively took part in the Indian Premier League (IPL), finishing with 174 IPL wickets from 162 matches.
"Today, after 25 years, I announce my retirement from cricket - a game that has been my first love, my teacher, and my greatest source of joy. This journey has been filled with countless emotions - moments of pride, hardship, learning, and love. I am deeply grateful to the BCCI, Haryana Cricket Association, my coaches, support staff, colleagues, and most importantly, the fans, whose faith and support gave me strength at every step," Mishra said on his social media account.
"From the struggles and sacrifices in the early days to the unforgettable moments on the field, every chapter has been an experience that has shaped me as a cricketer and as a person. To my family - thank you for standing firmly by my side through the highs and lows. To my teammates and mentors - thank you for making this journey so special. As I close this chapter, my heart is full of gratitude and love. Cricket has given me everything, and now, I look forward to giving back to the game that made me who I am."
His last competitive fixture was for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2024. In his IPL career, he represented Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Lucknow Super Giants.
