In this collection of pictures we shall take a look at the list of players who have retired out in T20 Cricket. Let's dive in
Ravichandran Ashwin stepped aside for Riyan Parag during a game against Lucknow Super Giants in 2022. Ashwin had made 28 off 23 balls before opting to let Parag take over and finish the innings. Parag entered with 10 balls remaining and contributed eight runs off four balls, including a six, helping the team set a target of 165, which ultimately proved to be enough for victory.
In the IPL 2023 Qualifier 2, Sai Sudharsan played a quick cameo for his team. However, with just one over remaining, he chose to step aside and allow Rashid Khan to take his place. Rashid made an impact, scoring five runs, including a four off his first delivery. This strategic move helped GT reach a total of 233 runs, which proved enough to defeat Mumbai Indians and secure a spot in the IPL final.
In 2023, Punjab Kings faced difficulties in their pursuit of 214 runs. Opener Taide had a strike rate of 131 after playing the equivalent of seven overs. With five overs left and the required rate climbing, PBKS opted to retire out Taide and bring in Jitesh Sharma. Despite the switch, Kings fell short by 15 runs.
In the PSL encounter between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings, Rashid Khan came in to bat. Although he had a tough start, Rashid could only manage six runs off 13 balls. Despite his efforts, Lahore Qalandars ended up losing by 86 runs.
Suryakumar made 67 runs off 42 balls for Mumbai Indians in their chase of 204 runs. Despite his solid contribution, the team found it difficult to keep up with the required run rate, particularly when Tilak came in at No. 5 and struggled to find his rhythm. Tilak could only manage 8 runs from his last 5 balls before being retired out, leaving MI with the challenge of needing 24 runs from 7 balls. However, LSG held their ground and clinched a 12-run victory.
