In the first week of December 2018, Gautam Gambhir announced his retirement from all forms of cricket with an emotional video. The southpaw then played his last competitive game against Andhra at the Feroz Shah Kotla, a venue where he started playing cricket, playing up all his cricket. He didn’t disappoint his supporters and bowed out with a superlative century in the first innings of the encounter.

The fans present at the Kotla also arranged a cake-cutting ceremony for the veteran cricketer. In the meantime, ever since the veteran hung his boots from his favorite sport, rumors of him considering a career in politics have been doing the rounds. However, Gambhir has quashed all qualms and remarked that he has no intentions of joining politics for the time being.

Recently, Gambhir tweeted which described the Indian capital in his own words. In Delhi, winter is at its peak with the temperature hovering below double digits. The southpaw also put forth his concerns surrounding the issue of pollution that has been marring the city for quite a while now.

Gautam took to Twitter and posted a message in Hindi. Here’s the translation of the same: “I am Delhi. Shivering on the footpath, I am Delhi. Crawling in hospitals, I am Delhi. Fighting with the system, I am Delhi. Counting my breath in the bitter air, I am Delhi. Hiding my nakedness behind a muffler, saffron, and Khadi, I am Delhi.”

Here is Gauti’s tweet:

मैं दिल्ली हूँ।
ललचाई आँखों से सहमी मैं दिल्ली हूँ।
फूटपाथो पर ठंड में सिकुड़ती मैं दिल्ली हूँ।अस्पतालों में रेंगती मैं दिल्ली हूँ।
System से झगड़ती मैं दिल्ली हूँ।
कड़वी हवा में साँसे गिनती मैं दिल्ली हूँ। Muffler, गेरुएय और खादी के बीच अपने नंगेपन को छुपाती मैं दिल्ली हूँ।
