Harbhajan Singh retired from his international career on Friday. After playing his last match for India in 2016, the veteran India off-spinner has been associated with international cricket as a commentator and was active in the Indian Premier League.
Harbhajan has been the best player India has ever produced. After making his international debut in 1998, the off-spinner represented India in 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is, taking 417, 269 and 25 wickets respectively.
On Friday, the Punjab cricketer took to Twitter to thank “all those” who made his 23-year-long cricketing journey a memorable one.
