On Sunday, Cheteshwar Pujara, an experienced batsman, said he was done with all kinds of Indian cricket. He did this in a heartfelt post on social media. The choice ends a great career that made him one of the best Test batters of his time.
“I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to wear the Indian jersey, sing the anthem, and give it my all every time I stepped on the field.” “But as they say, all good things must come to an end,” Pujara remarked. He was quite thankful.
For more than 10 years, Pujara was a key player for India’s Test batting team. He participated in 103 Tests and scored 7,195 runs, 19 of which were centuries. When India won Test series in Australia and England, he became a hero because of his “rock-solid technique” and incredible patience. He had a great Test match in which he scored 206*.
He hadn’t played for the Indian Test team since the World Test Championship final in June 2023. His retirement ends a career that will be remembered for how strong, resilient, and dedicated he was to the longest form of the game.
