I believe that I have accomplished my job with Passion, Sincerity Commitment and to the best of my abilities," Sridhar wrote a caption for his Instagram post.

"Yes, occasional mistakes were made but every mistake was harnessed to make the team a better place," he added.

Sridhar thanked head coach Ravi Shastri, who will also end his tenure after the T20 World Cup. "A special thank you to @ravishastriofficial, an inspiring leader and mentor to whom I owe this.

"I was fortunate to coach & interact with amazingly talented cricketers and help them unleash their full potential. I fostered lasting relationships and made memories that I will treasure for a lifetime and beyond," Sridhar mentioned.

"Lastly but most importantly I express profound thanks & love to my family, my friends, Media and all the countless other fans and stakeholders of Indian cricket for always being there in support and encouragement," he added.
