These players are unlikely to return in the limited formats.
Over the years, world cricket has made great strides. Certainly, Indian cricket has become a driving force in this robust revolution. The sport dominated by elitism to the sport that celebrates talent, has undergone a significant transformation. With fitness and athletics becoming the order of the day, every cricket superstar needs to be alert regularly.
Unsurprisingly, today’s masters in the form of Virat Kohli, Rohit sharma Together with Jasprit Bumrah, we have advanced the standards to a completely different level. While the trajectory of quality has increased, all players must play in their skin on the cricket field. However, age becomes a cruel demon for most experienced Indian cricketers.
Interestingly, MS Dhoni shook the world, as he called it, one day after an illustrious 16-year service to Indian cricket. In that sense, let’s analyze the names of other professionals whose retirement remains on the cards due to their excessive age.
The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Sourav Ganguly drew the curtain on their cricket careers by belonging to older age groups. In particular, the names mentioned below only speak of retirement from cricket with limited limits.
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the names of the Indian cricketers:
1. Wriddhiman Saha (36 years old)
The Bengal-based wicketkeeper-hitter made his debut for India against South Africa in 2010 in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Often known as the superman for his exemplary glove compartment behind the stumps, he was the coach’s first choice after cricket legend MS Dhoni said goodbye to the white jersey in 2015.
Representing India in test cricket under the leadership of Virat Kohli, Saha has played 37 matches. He has scored 1238 runs at an ordinary average of 30.2. However, he currently faces stiff competition from young Rishabh Pant, who performed brilliantly with the bat in the road series. As a result, he was unable to find his name in the XI playing on New Zealand’s Indian tour in the four-match test series.
If the speculation is to be believed, Saha is expected to hang up his boots in the game’s limited overs format. Eventually, the right-hander will only focus on red ball cricket. Lately, he’s quarantined with the Indian contingent in Sydney ahead of the long-awaited India vs Australia series later this year. The 36-year-old is expected to leave no stones unturned to make a respectable mark on the heated series.
