Former India opening batsman Gautam Gambhir has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket at the age of 37.

Gambhir played almost 250 times for his country across all formats, including 58 Tests and 147 ODIs.

His Test appearances yielded 4,154 runs at an average of 41.95, although the two finest moments of his career came in limited-overs contests.

Gambhir struck 75 off 54 balls to inspire India to World Twenty/20 glory in the 2007 decider against fierce rivals Pakistan, and his 97 helped see his nation home in the 2011 World Cup final against Sri Lanka.
