Karn Sharma has decided to step away from all forms of cricket at the age of 38.

The leg-spinner played just four international matches for India across his career.

Ending a Long Domestic Journey

With this announcement, Karn Sharma brings the curtain down on his domestic career as well.

His retirement marks the close of a journey that saw him feature in India’s setup on a limited basis.

IPL Achievements Stand Out

Karn Sharma retires holding a unique place in IPL history.

He is the only cricketer to have won three consecutive IPL titles while representing three separate franchises.

• Four international appearances for India
• Three IPL trophies with three different teams
• Retirement from both international and domestic cricket at age 38

This combination of limited international exposure and standout IPL success sets his career apart.

The 38-year-old played four international games, and retires as the only cricketer to have won a hat-trick of IPL trophies with three different teams.

Looking Back at the Numbers

Those four international outings remain the sum total of his appearances at the highest level for the national team.

Meanwhile the IPL record continues to stand alone in the tournament’s history.

Fans following IPL seasons will remember the distinctive achievement of lifting the trophy with three different sides in succession.

His decision to retire closes the chapter on both his India career and his time in domestic cricket.
