भारताचा फलंदाज गौतम गंभीर सर्वप्रकारच्या क्रिकेटमधून निवृत्त होणार आहे. रणजी ट्रॉफीत अांध्र प्रदेश विरुद्धचा पुढील सामना हा त्याचा शेवटचा सामना असेल. हा सामना दिल्लीच्या फिरोजशहा कोटला मैदानात होणार आहे. गंभीरने भारताचे ५८ कसोटी, १४७ एकदिवसीय आणि ३७ टी-२० सामन्यांत भारताचे प्रतिनिधित्व केले. भारताने २००७ टी-२० विश्वचषक आणि २०११ विश्वचषक जिंकण्यात गंभीरचा मोलाचा वाटा होता. त्याने बुधवारी आपली निवृत्ती जाहीर केल्यानंतर अनेक आजी-माजी खेळाडू आणि क्रिकेट समीक्षकांनी त्याला त्याच्या कारकिर्दीबद्दल ट्विटरवरून शुभेच्छा दिल्या.
तू खूपच खास खेळाडू होतास – सचिन तेंडुलकर
Congratulations @GautamGambhir on a glorious career. You were a special talent and had a Gambhir role in our win in the World Cup finals. Batting with you at Napier was extra special. Enjoy your second innings with family and friends! pic.twitter.com/dNpyNfbLe6

You had a wonderful career @GautamGambhir, one that you can be genuinely proud of. You played a big part in two of the biggest moments in Indian cricket, you were among the best in test cricket at your peak and you will have a page in the IPL. Few get that from this game. Go well
