Ravindra Jadeja became the third Indian player who quit T20I cricket after the Men in Blue won the 2024 T20 World Cup. The star all-rounder made the announcement a day after India lifted the trophy. Jadeja took to Instagram to share his retirement post and wrote: “With a heart full of gratitude, I bid farewell to T20 internationals."

"Like a steadfast horse galloping with pride, I’ve always given my best for my country and will continue to do so in other formats . Winning the T20 World Cup was a dream come true, a pinnacle of my T20 International career. Thank you for the memories, the cheers, and the unwavering support," he added.

Soon after Jadeja announced his retirement, PM Narendra Modi took to X to send his wishes to the all-rounder. "Dear @imjadeja, You have performed exceptionally as an all-rounder. Cricket lovers admire your stylish stroke play, spin and superb fielding. Thank you for the enthralling T20 performances over the years. My best wishes for your endeavours ahead," Modi wrote.
