Gautam Gambhir, the hero of India’s World T20 win in 2007 and ICC World Cup in 2011, has announced retirement from cricket on Tuesday.
The most difficult decisions are often taken with the heaviest of hearts.
And with one heavy heart, I’ve decided to make an announcement that I’ve dreaded all my life.
