"Yes this is my last year playing IPL - please come down and support RR last 2 home games v chennai & Bangalore ! We need your help !!!!", Warne wrote on his Twitter account.
He also said that he will not be playing any more professional cricket matches. "A big thank you to everyone that has helped me - supported me through all the ups and downs - hope you have enjoyed watching me play," said the former Australian legend.
Warne, who led his team to a title victory in the inaugural season of the IPL, said that he would love to leave on a high. "We have a spirit in the squad similar to IPL 1 - it would be great to leave on a high - I'm proud of the way we have developed young players," he wrote.
The Royals skipper cum coach has had tremendous success in the 4 seasons so far, picking up 56 wickets from 52 games. Warne, along with fellow Australian Shane Watson, were the only players retained by the franchise for the 4th season.
Warne, famously tagged as the best captain Australia never had, is known to back the youngsters and get the best out of little known players. He is likely to continue as coach of the Royals in the upcoming seasons.
"Re next year, who knows what or if I will be involved in IPL re mentor / coaching - am focused on doing best for RR this year - see u at ground," Warne tweeted.
