Pujara Retires from Indian Cricket, Could Explore Foreign Leagues and Coaching Roles
Cheteshwar Pujara Retires: Cheteshwar Pujara, who is known as the wall of the Indian cricket team, has said goodbye to Indian cricket. This player was out of Team India for some time and now he has put a stop to his career. However, it would not be surprising if Pujara is seen playing even after retirement.
On Sunday, Cheteshwar Pujara surprised everyone by saying goodbye to cricket. He informed about this by writing a post on social media. Pujara was out of Team India for a long time. He was trying to make a comeback, but recently in the Duleep Trophy, he also did not get a place in the West Zone team, and possibly this is the reason why Pujara understood that now his cricket is over. Due to this, he may have decided to retire.
However, fans do not need to be completely disappointed because Pujara has given such indications that he can be seen playing cricket even after retirement. If Pujara's social media post is taken into account, then the possibility cannot be ruled out that he will not be seen playing again.
Pujara has written a post on the social media site X in which he states that he is retiring from all forms of Indian cricket. Pujara wrote, "Wearing the Indian team jersey, singing the national anthem, and giving my best whenever I stepped on the field - all these things are difficult to describe in words. But as it is said, every good thing comes to an end. With all gratitude, I announce my retirement from all formats of Indian cricket."
It is certain that Pujara will no longer be seen in any league, tournament in India. But he can participate in leagues played abroad, and only then has he talked about retirement from Indian cricket. Dinesh Karthik did something similar. After IPL-2024, Karthik retired from Indian cricket and then played for Paarl Royals in South Africa's SA20 League. If Pujara is also seen doing something like this, it will not be surprising because he has said goodbye to Indian cricket, which is also mentioned in his post.
Pujara has been a great batsman. A batsman who was technically very skilled. He has experience of more than 100 Test matches, and due to this, he can also be seen as a coach in Indian cricket. There is a strong possibility that he will coach a state team or work with an IPL franchise. It should not be surprising if he gets some responsibility in BCCI's Center of Excellence.
