PM Modi’s letter
‘I hope that you receive this letter with good health and immense enthusiasm. The announcement of your retirement from international cricket has surprised fans across the world including India. When everyone was waiting for off breaks. During that time you bowled a carrom ball. Due to which everyone was surprised. Everyone knows that it must not have been easy for you to take this decision.
‘My heartiest congratulations for your hard work and keeping the team on top in every situation. After your retirement from international cricket, people will always miss jersey number 99. Cricket lovers will always remember the moment when you stepped onto the cricket field. There will always be a feeling of how you used to weave webs against the opposition team.
‘The 765 wickets taken by your side in international cricket were all special. Receiving the most ‘Player of the Series’ awards in Test cricket shows the impact you had on the team’s success over the years.
‘You have shown your all-round ability many times by scoring a century and taking five wickets in the same match. Even with the bat, you have given many unforgettable memories to our country. Which also includes the courageous match-saving innings played in Sydney in 2021.
‘Your honesty and commitment towards the game even in adverse circumstances came to the fore. We all remember the moment when your mother was hospitalized, yet you returned to the field. When there was a flood situation in Chennai and you were not able to contact your family. Despite this, the way you continued playing against South Africa shows your commitment towards the game.
