The
former
Indian
spin
legend,
who
last
played
for
India
in
March
2016
in
a
T20
against
UAE,
had
been
contemplating
bringing
down
the
curtains
on
a
highly
successful
international
career
for
quite
some
time
now.
During
his
18-year
stint
in
international
cricket,
he
was
part
of
two
World
Cup-winning
sides
—
the
inaugural
ICC
World
T20
in
2007
and
then
the
ODI
World
Cup
in
2011.
In
his
stellar
career,
the
Turbanator
took
417
wickets
in
103
Tests,
269
wickets
in
236
ODIs
and
25
scalps
in
28
T20Is.
“Congratulations
