Meanwhile, the 40-year-old cricketer, who was the hero of India’s 2007 T20 and 2011 ODI World Cups triumphs, announced his retirement from international cricket in June 2019. He went to play the 2011 World Cup with cancer, he was spitting blood outside the ground but on the pitch, he was roaring high by scoring runs and taking wickets as he, later on, became the Man of the Tournament for his all-round performance.
