Cheteshwar Pujara called time on his international career via a post on social media. The 37-year-old ended as India’s eighth-highest run-getter in the Test format, with 7,195 runs at an average of 43.60 with 19 centuries to his name.
The batter who was crucial during India’s prolific Test run during the late 2010s, was known for his fighting knocks in adverse conditions and his ability to soak in the pressure through classic Test match batting. He featured in the World Test Championship Finals of 2021 and 2023.
The former India international received several plaudits on his international career.
Leading the way was India’s Test captain Shubman Gill.
