It was recently, former Indian Cricketer Sreesanth tweeted his retirement announcement from all forms of Indian domestic cricket. He said, “It has been an honour to represent my family, my teammates and the people of India and everyone who loves the game. With much sadness but without regret, I say this with a heavy heart: I am retiring from the Indian domestic (first class and all formats) cricket.” Soon after his announcement, several celebs and public figures reacted on social media. Malayalam actors Prithviraj Sukumaran and Unni Mukundan were among scores of people who wished him well.

Responding to Sreesanth’s announcement, actor Prithviraj Sukumaran tweeted, “One among the greatest ever release and seam position I’ve ever seen from an Indian pacer. Thank you for the memories champ! All the best with the way ahead!” Meanwhile, Actor Unni Mukundan took to Instagram to respond to Sreesanth’s announcement. He wrote, “Dear Sreesanth! Thank you for serving the country… You were fantastic on the field… Thank you for bringing the World Cup home. Wishing you all the very best for your future endeavours! You have for sure inspired many young boys with your sheer determination! Thank you for making Kerala and India proud. Goodluck my friend!”

Sreesanth represented India in 27 Tests, 53 ODIs and 10 T20Is, picking up 87, 75 and seven wickets respectively. HE was part of several memorable victories, including the T20 and the 50-over World Cup. In 2015, Sreesanth was acquitted of all charges in the spot-fixing scandal by a special court. Later, in 2018, Kerala High Court quashed his life ban which ended in September 2020.
