(ICC) - Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has announced his decision to retire from T20 internationals following India's T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.

After Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja has called it quits from T20 internationals, bowing out on a high with the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy.

“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," Jadeja stated in his Instagram post.

"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."

Jadeja, who made his T20I debut in 2009, represented India in 74 T20Is, taking 54 wickets and scoring 515 runs.

He was an integral part of six T20 World Cup campaigns, tasting success in his final one as India returned with the men's T20 World Cup trophy after 17 years.

Jadeja also confirmed that he would continue to represent India in other formats.

They want to play cricket until 2048 where Sri Lanka will be a developed country. Let them follow the leader and free us from our debt burden.

Yes Indian won the tournament but not without controversy. Remember the catch taken on the boundary line. That was a six. Why was no replays shown.

The victory has become questionable as the last over the fielder who took a catch near the boundary line appear to have touched the line before he threw the ball in went out of the line came into the field back to complete the catch. If that was 6 runs the denial of the runs make the 3rd umpire decision highly questionable. A video showing the catch is circulating

While the world cup winners retire with dignity, if our non achievers also can do the same right now, they can afford at least a little bit of dignity from the people.

Our players, much like our politicians, seldom resign from the team regardless of poor performance or rankings. Everyone appreciates a paid holiday after playing hard in premier league games worldwide because they treat playing for a country as relaxing holidays from our tax money. I no longer follow cricket and believe we should focus on track sports, which are dedicated solely to representing our country without the distractions of premier leagues. If any of our players see this message, please have some self-respect to step aside and give opportunities to young, upcoming talent for god sake! For the sake of the team's future and national pride, let's prioritise accountability, self-awareness, and the development of new talent.
