The year 2015 has seen some high profile cricketers bringing curtains to their incredibly successful playing careers in some or all forms of international cricket. These greats of the game will be sorely missed by the fans worldwide. Here’s a look at the best eleven from the players who retired from all forms of the international game. These men brought laurels to their respective countries with their unwavering dedication and hard work.

01. Virender Sehwag – India

Sehwag had a remarkable career in which he scored 17,253 international runs across all formats. He is the only Indian batsman to score a triple-century in Tests and the amazing part is that he did that twice. He also scored a double hundred in an ODI against the West Indies. Viru played 104 Tests scoring 8586 runs with a career-best of 319. He played 251 ODIs scoring 8273 runs with a top score of 219 and 19 T20Is scoring 394 runs with a top score of 68. An opener accustomed to giving flying starts which put the pressure on the opposition, Sehwag remains the ideal choice to face the new ball.
