Team India cricketer Krishnappa Gowtham has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, bringing an end to his 14-year career. Known for his power-hitting in the lower order and reliable off-spin bowling, Gowtham impressed with his performances in the Ranji Trophy and the IPL. The all-rounder represented Karnataka in domestic cricket.

Gautham has taken over 320 wickets in 59 First-Class and 68 List A matches. He also scored crucial runs at times. He remained a regular in Karnataka cricket until 2023. Although he was later dropped from the state team, his overall impact on the domestic circuit has been significant.

He played only one One Day International match for Team India. In that match against Sri Lanka in 2021, he took one wicket while bowling and scored just two runs with the bat. He made his IPL debut in 2018 and played until 2024. In total, he played 36 IPL matches, taking 21 wickets and scoring 247 runs.
