Commenting on his retirement, Yo Mahesh said: ‘I would like to thank the BCCI who initially gave me the opportunity to be under 19 and at the India-A level. I would like to thank my two IPL franchises, the Delhi and Chennai Super Kings, for believing in me and allowing me to share the dressing room with legendary cricketers. The past five years have been full of injuries, but I am grateful to India Cements who have remained my back. I would also like to thank my State Cricket Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, who nurtured me since I was 14 and have stayed with me for 12 years of first class career.

Yo Mahesh made his first class debut against the Bengals in 2006 and was part of the Delhi team in the IPL in 2008, picking up 16 wickets, but could not take advantage of the seven chances he got in the next three years and could only afford 5 wickets.
