In a heartfelt announcement, Indian cricketer Veda Krishnamurthy revealed her retirement from the professional game. Known for her dynamic batting, Veda played 48 ODIs and 76 T20Is, amassing 829 and 875 runs respectively. Beyond the field, her resilience was evident as she faced personal losses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Veda's career journey from the small town of Kadur to national prominence is celebrated as an inspiration. Despite stepping away from playing, she emphasizes that she isn't parting from the sport entirely. Already active in commentary, Veda plans to engage with cricket in alternate roles.
Her contributions extend beyond records; she was a lively fielder and influential captain for Karnataka and Railways. The 2017 Women's World Cup remains a career highlight, underscoring her role in reshaping perceptions of women's cricket in India. With gratitude to her family, mentors, and teammates, Veda's cricketing chapter closes, but her involvement with the sport continues.
