Team India`s iconic leg-spinner Amit Mishra has announced his retirement from professional cricket after a career of over 25 years.

Mishra, who has been one of India`s most consistent ball tweakers, said that the decision was taken due to repeated injuries and feels that the younger generations should be given an opportunity to rise on the big stage.

Over the years, he showcased his skills and determination with the ball. From delivering match-winning spells for the "Men in Blue" to being one of the top bowlers in the Indian Premier League (IPL), he kept receiving praise from the cricket fraternity.
