I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me throughout my cricket career, including all of my coaches, teammates, and support staff.

"Being surrounded by my family, who are my biggest supporters, and having a cricket-playing brother made it both simple and tough for me to learn the game and give my all each time I entered the field. Because to their unwavering support and selfless sacrifices, I was able to play the sport and contribute for a very long time." 

"Additionally, I'd want to use this chance to express my gratitude to the BCCI and the State Associations I've represented, including Air India, Karnataka, and Pondicherry, for all of their assistance. I'm able to announce my retirement from all kinds of cricket with a lot of happiness and satisfaction, and I look forward to giving back to the game."
