Sudeep played 4 ODIs and 1 T20I for India.
33-year old Indian seamer Sudeep Tyagi on Tuesday (November 17) announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. He represented the country in four ODIs and one T20I after making his debut against Sri Lanka in December, 2009.
Tyagi, who played majority of his domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh, also featured for MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. Sudeep thanked Dhoni, and his UP seniors, Suresh Raina, RP Singh, and Mohammad Kaif for guiding him during his career.
“I want to thank each one of you who has supported me. I have achieved what is every player’s dream to represent the country and wear the Indian flag is a dream I lived,” wrote Sudeep Tyagi.
“I now announce my retirement from all formats of cricket and will continue to play as and where opportunity rises.
“Cricket is my very existence and soul It is very difficult to do this but to move ahead we must let go . Having said that I could have played more and given more to the country,” he added.
“I want to thank M.S Dhoni under whom I played my first ODI. I thank my role models Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, RP Singh alongside whom I had the opportunity to debut my career for UPCA,” wrote Sudeep Tyagi.
Tyagi could not live upto the expectations after initial promise in his maiden domestic season in 2007, and battled several injuries which made his comeback harder. He made his last first-class appearance while playing for Hyderabad in 2017. He took a total of 156 wickets across formats in professional cricket.
