Indian Star Ends International Career During UP T20 League 2026
Karn Sharma announced his retirement from all formats of the game during the UP T20 League. After the match came to an end, he put an end to his international and IPL career, walking away in silence.
Karn is among the few players who have won the IPL three times in a row, and even represented India in four games.
We have seen various shocking retirements by the Indian players, as another name has been added to the list. And this time it is the Indian spinner, Karn Sharma. His retirement didn't come in the form of an Instagram post or story, or even an announcement he made during IPL.
Instead, he announced his retirement during the UP T20 League. In the match between Kanpur Superstars and Meerut Mavericks, Karn Sharma thought it to be the best time to confirm his retirement from all forms of the game.
After the match came to an end, he confirmed that he will no longer play any format of the game, including the Indian Premier League. Cricket fans are now congratulating him on having a successful career, which was short lived when it came to internationals. Karn Sharma had also played for the Indian team in four games.
Our Take
Karn Sharma will never be forgotten by the Indian fans, as he gave various moments for them to cherish. Especially in IPL 2024, when he went against Mitchell Starc in the final over to complete the chase by RCB. Even though he fell short by just one run, it should be noted that he has already won the IPL title four times. Moreover, he is the only player to have won the title three times with different teams in each successive tournament.
