Veteran leg-spinner Piyush Chawla, a member of India’s 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup-winning squads, has officially retired from all forms of cricket.
The 35-year-old made the announcement on Friday, June 6, via a heartfelt Instagram post, drawing the curtains on a professional journey that spanned over two decades.
In his note, Chawla reflected on the highs of his career, expressing gratitude for the memories he made while donning the Indian jersey. His decision adds to the growing list of Indian stalwarts who have stepped away from the game in 2025, symbolising the end of an era for a generation that brought India some of its most cherished cricketing moments.
Despite a brief India career, Chawla won two international trophies with the side, the 2007 and the 2011 World Cups.
