I bid an goodbye to T20 internationals with a heart full of appreciation. I have always given my all for my nation and I will continue to do so in many capacities, much like a proud and unwavering horse. Achieving the T20 World Cup was the apex of my T20 International career and a great dream come true. Jadeja stated, "Thank you for the applause, the memories, and the everlasting support.
