Chandigarh, December 25

As Harbhajan Singh hanged up his boots from all forms of cricket on Friday, his wife Geeta Basra took to social media to share a picture of herself with the former cricketer.

She captioned the picture: "Celebrating you".

The 41-year old represented India in 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is, picking up 417, 269 and 25 wickets respectively. His overall tally of 707 international wickets is the second-highest for India, behind Anil Kumble's 953. He was also a handy contributor with the bat, scoring 3,569 runs with two centuries and nine fifties.

Harbhajan, who became the first Indian to take a hat-trick in Test cricket -- against Australia at Eden Gardens in 2001 – has announced his retirement on social media.

"All good things come to an end and today as I bid adieu to the game that has given me everything in life, I would like to thank everyone who made this 23-year-long journey beautiful and memorable. My heartfelt thank you, Grateful," he wrote on Twitter.
