One of India’s most resilient Test batters, Cheteshwar Pujara, has announced his retirement from all forms of Indian cricket, bringing to an end a career defined by grit and unwavering patience.

Cheteshwar Pujara: The marathon man of Indian cricket

Pujara’s career was a series of marathon knocks that often turned the tide of a match. A prime example of his dominance at home was his epic 206 not out against England in 2012 in Ahmedabad. This monumental innings showcased his ability to wear down a top-class bowling attack, cementing his place as the heir to Rahul Dravid’s Number 3 spot. Overseas, his most celebrated innings came in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2018-19. In the first Test in Adelaide, Pujara scored a brilliant 123 in a low-scoring match, anchoring the Indian innings after a top-order collapse. His gritty knock was the difference-maker, setting the tone for India’s historic first-ever Test series triumph in Australia. His defiant knocks were the backbone of India’s success at home and abroad. Pujara played numerous such innings in his career, each serving as a vital part of India’s dominant Test reign for over a decade.
