Global Leagues And Books Keep Priyank Panchal Busy In Post-retirement Life
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Little did people know that Priyank Panchal's 148 against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy semi-final for Gujarat in Ahmedabad would be his last innings as a professional cricketer. Later, Panchal, 35, brought down the curtain on a 17-year journey that transformed him from a promising youngster to Gujarat's most prolific run-scorer.
With 8,856 first-class runs in 127 matches, including hitting 29 first-class centuries, Panchal was the witness and contributor to Gujarat's transformation from a middling side to winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (2014/15), Vijay Hazare Trophy (2015/16), and the Ranji Trophy (2016/17).
But the decision to retire comes from a player who fully understands cycles - both of cricket and life. Right after announcing his retirement, Panchal turned out in Intercontinental legends championship, where he became the highest run scorer.
