New Delhi: India women’s batter Veda Krishnamurthy on Friday announced her retirement from all forms of cricket. The right-handed batter made the announcement on her social media accounts.
“A small-town girl with big dreams. That’s how it all started in Kadur. I picked up a bat not knowing where it would take me. But I knew I loved the game. I never imagined it would take me this far from narrow streets to the biggest stadiums, from quiet hopes to proudly wearing the India jersey.”
“Cricket gave me so much more than just a career. It gave me a sense of who I am. It taught me how to fight, how to fall, and how to keep showing up. Today, with a full heart, I’m calling time on this chapter,” wrote Veda in her retirement post.
Known as a reliable middle-order batter, Veda amassed 829 runs in 48 ODIs, including hitting eight fifties. She also scored 875 runs in 76 T20Is, including hitting two half-centuries. She also represented Hobart Hurricanes in the 2017/18 WBBL and turned out for Gujarat Giants (GG) in the 2024 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). She also turned out for Velocity in the now-defunct Women’s T20 Challenge.
“To my parents and siblings, especially my sister, thank you for being my first team and my constant strength. To my coaches, captains, and mentors thank you for shaping me. To The BCCI, thank you for trusting me with the honour of representing India.” IANS
