With multiple reports stating the BCCI’s interest in acquiring the services of Gambhir, it has also believed that a factor that has brought together both entities has been the idea of ‘desh ke liye karna hai’, the need to take up the challenge for the nation.

“I am standing at a point where when I look back, I only see memories and a new life when I look forward. It was always my dream to play for India, and I got to live it. I am thankful to a lot of people for that. First of all, my family, my childhood coaches and then my team that I played with for so many years. I got a new family, fame and love. But it is said that to move forward, you need to flip the pages,” Dhawan said in a post on ‘X’.
“I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket. As I bid farewell to my cricketing journey, I have peace in my heart. I played a lot for my country.
