Fast-bowler Siddarth Kaul Announces Retirement From Indian Cricket
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Fast-bowler Siddarth Kaul has announced his retirement from Indian cricket. Kaul, the right-arm pacer, played six white-ball matches for India and picked four wickets in T20Is. “When I was a child playing cricket in the fields in Punjab, I had one dream. A dream to represent my country. In 2018, by God's grace, I received my India Cap Number 75 in the T20i team and Cap Number 221 in the ODI team. The time has now come to call time on my career in India and announce my retirement,” wrote Kaul in a post on his Instagram account on Thursday.
Overall, Kaul has taken 297 first-class wickets in 88 games at an average of 26.77, including 17 five-wicket hauls. He also took 199 wickets in 111 List A games and picked 182 T20 wickets in 145 matches. He was India's highest wicket-taker when the side won the 2008 U19 World Cup under Virat Kohli’s leadership in Malaysia.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kaul picked 58 in 55 matches while representing Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It was in his stint from 2017 to 2021 with Hyderabad that Kaul became a part of the side’s integral bowling line-up via his slower balls and yorkers.
