New Delhi: India cricketer Unmukt Chand announced his retirement on Friday. In a long heartfelt note, the 28-year-old explained his road ahead and thanked his supporters and well-wishers. Unmukt is best known for leading the India to the U-19 World Cup win in 2012. After making a mark in age-group cricket, Unmukt made his IPL debut for Delhi Daredevils in 2013 before moving to Rajasthan Royals during the IPL 7 Auction. He was later picked by the Mumbai Indians in the 2015 season. "After thinking for a while, I still could not find the perfect beginning to this letter. Writing this down brings out mixed emotions in me. I don`t know how I should be feeling cause honestly I am still figuring it out. The very thought of not being able to represent my country again literally stops my heartbeat for a while. I have grown up playing cricket with just one and only dream of playing for India."
