Seems like calling a time from careers has become a trend. On June 2, 2 of the most prominent names of international cricket announced their retirement from International cricket. Australia’s Glenn Maxwell and South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen have bid their farewell to cricket. Maxwell announced his retirement from ODIs, whereas the Proteas has said his goodbyes to all formats of cricket. Apart from this, Kabaddi Superstar Pardeep Narwal has also announced retirement from the Kabaddi franchise league, Pro Kabaddi League. Spectators have been arguing that his retirement might have come to a contrast with him being unsold in this year’s PKL auction.
Thank you for everything Pardeep Narwal 🥺💔

Goes Unsold In Auction
Kabaddi top star Pardeep Narwal was not selected by any team in the auction this year. Pardeep is the player with the most raid points ever recorded during the tournament. He played for Bengaluru last year, but did not find a team in the auction this season which seemed surprising to many. Among the top raiders in the league, he stands out for completing 1361 raids out of 3135 attempts or 57.44% of the attempts he’s made. On the whole, Pardeep Narwal excels both in raiding and defending.
