'Harbhajan Singh takes a walkover from cricket', Twitterati reacts as veteran spinner announces retirement

Here’s how Twitterati reacted to Harbhajan Singh’s retirement from all forms of cricket.

Veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. The 41-year-old played 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is for Men in Blue. He scalped 294 wickets in limited-overs cricket. “All good things come to an end and today as I bid adieu to the game that has given me everything in life, I would like to thank everyone who made this 23-year-long journey beautiful and memorable. My heartfelt thank you Grateful,” Harbhajan Singh tweeted on Friday. He played his last red-ball match against Sri Lanka in 2015 while his last ODI was against South Africa in the same year. His last game for India was a T20I against UAE in the 2016 Asia Cup. Since then he has not been picked for India. ‘Bhajji’ retires after scalping 417 wickets in 103 Tests at an average of 32.46. The 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup winner is also the first Indian to scalp a Test hat-trick. Overall, Jalandhar- born cricketer played 367 international games and claimed 711 international wickets and scored 3,569 international runs. Here’s how Twitterati reacted to the veteran’s retirement decision: An excellent career, indeed!

What a great career @harbhajan_singh. Wonderful to see you flower from a slim, young, talented cricketer to a match-winner. Wish you lots of happiness and satisfaction. You gave your family so much to be proud of https://t.co/QsMjX5eymD
