Cheteshwar Pujara, the Indian Test cricket star, retired from all forms of cricket on 24 Aug 2025. The 37-year-old from Rajkot played 103 Test matches from 2010 to 2023, scoring 7,195 runs with 19 centuries. Pujara said he chose to retire to give younger players a chance in the Saurashtra team. He was known for his patient batting and helping teammates like Virat Kohli play freely. Despite wanting to continue, Pujara was not selected for recent tours, which influenced his decision. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) praised his career and contributions to Indian cricket. To support young players, teams should give them more opportunities in domestic tournaments.
