Ankit Rajpoot Retires from Indian Cricket at 31

Uttar Pradesh pacer Ankit Rajpoot has announced his retirement from Indian cricket at the age of 31. He has represented multiple franchises in his IPL career, including Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Lucknow Super Giants.

Rajpoot made his first-class debut in the 2012-13 Ranji season for UP and managed to pick up 248 wickets in his red-ball career. He has also played a couple of Ranji games this season, going wicketless in both.

Rajpoot has a five-wicket haul under his belt in the IPL, picking up 24 wickets in 29 games. However, he hasn't played a game in the competition post IPL 2020.

"I am grateful for the opportunities given to me by the Board of Control for India, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association, Kanpur Cricket Association, IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings 11, Rajasthan Royals, and Lucknow Super Giants.

"I am excited to announce that I will be exploring new opportunities in the world of cricket & the business side of it, where I will also continue to participate in the sport that I love and challenge myself in a new and different environment."
