Veteran cricketer Saurabh Tiwary has announced his retirement from professional cricket with great emotion. The 34-year-old, who is renowned for his devastating left-handed swings, will say goodbye to the game following his last Jharkhand match as they conclude their Ranji Trophy season in Jamshedpur on February 15.
Saurabh Tiwary, who started playing cricket at the young age of eleven, has made a lasting impression on the sport. He made his first-class debut as a teenager in the 2006–07 Ranji Trophy season, and under Virat Kohli’s captaincy, he was instrumental in India’s Under-19 World Cup victory in 2008.
Saurabh Tiwary exhibited conflicting feelings as he considered his remarkable career during a news conference at Jamshedpur’s Keenan Stadium.
“It’s a little difficult to end this adventure that I began before attending school. But I’m also positive that this is the appropriate moment to do this. In my opinion, it’s preferable to give up a spot on the state team for a young player if you’re not playing for your country or in the IPL. According to Tiwary, “Our Test team provides young players with a lot of opportunities, which is why I’m making this decision.
Saurabh Tiwary, who has an outstanding domestic record, participated in 115 first-class matches during a 17-year period, scoring 8030 runs for Jharkhand. With his 2237 contributions, he outperformed players like MS Dhoni in the state’s record books.
During his international career, Tiwary made 49 runs in three one-day internationals for India. He did not always replicate that kind of success in the IPL, but he still managed to show off his skills in the shortest format with a total of 1494 runs at an average of 28.73 and a strike rate of 120.
Saurabh Tiwary declares his intention to remain involved with cricket as he hangs up his cricket boots.
“It’s not like my results were the main factor in my decision. My record in Ranji and the most recent domestic season are visible to you. People frequently ask me what I want to do next, and at the moment, all I can say is that since cricket is all I know, I will always be involved in the sport. I received an offer from politics as well, but I haven’t given it any attention,” he continued, reiterating his unwavering devotion to the game.
