Team India: In the last few days, many other great players of the world including Team India have disappointed the fans by announcing their retirement. The names of Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik and dashing opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan are also included in this list. But now apart from these, another talented player of the Indian team has decided to retire due to lack of opportunities. Let's know who is this player?

This player will take retirement

Team India's dashing batsman Manish Pandey has been away from the Indian squad for a long time. He played his last international match on the Sri Lanka tour in 2021. Since then, he was looking for a chance to make a comeback, but the selectors did not give him a chance. At the same time, now his chances of getting a place in Team India in the future are almost negligible. In such a situation, he can now take retirement and participate in tournaments like Legends League Cricket like Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik.

Such has been the career

34-year-old Manish Pandey started his career with the 2015 Zimbabwe tour. He was selected in both ODI and T20 squads. But since then, in the last 9 years, he has played only 29 ODIs and 39 T20 matches for Team India. However, even during this period, his performance was not very special.

The right-handed batsman has scored 566 runs in 29 ODIs at an average of 33.29. In 39 T20 matches, he has scored 709 runs at an average of 44.31 and a strike rate of 126.16. He has 1 century and 5 half-centuries to his name in international cricket.
