Dhar then says that each match in her long career has taught her something that will help her in my second innings. She details that her journey as a cricketer will come to an end but she has promised her followers to stay involved with cricket and help nurture young talent in the country, attempting to give back to the game in any way possible. She then thanked everyone who has supported her through all of her ups and downs and everyone who has loved her, her game, pushed her when she needed it the most, cheered her at her lowest, laughed with her, and scolded her when she needed it the most. She said that she owes everything she is today to each and every one of her supporters. Dhar finally said that she is at a loss for words to express how she feels. And that she wants to thank everyone for being there for her and showering her with love.
