One of India’s best openers Gautam Gambhir has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Gambhir posted a video of his announcement on social media on Tuesday.

The India and Delhi opener Gautam Gambhir will play his last game against Andra Pradesh in Ranji Trophy.

Gambhir will be remembered for his role in India winning the 2007 World T20 and 2011 World Cup trophies. He was also a crucial part of the team that reached the No. 1 rank in Test cricket.

Gambhir, with Virender Sehwag, formed one of the best opening partnerships which the world has ever seen in the longest form of the game.

Gambhir was the top-ranked batsman in Test cricket and was named the ICC Test Player of the Year in 2009.

Gambhir played 58 Test matches for India scoring 4154 runs at an average of 41.96 and 9 centuries. In ODIs, he scored 5238 runs at an average of 39.68 and 11 centuries in 147 matches. He also made his mark in T20I cricket playing 37 matches scoring 932 runs at an average of 27.41 with 7 half centuries.

Gambhir is one of the most successful captains in the IPL. He won two titles with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2012 and 2014.
