Cheteshwar Pujara has retired from all forms of cricket after playing 103 test matches for India. On Sunday, he expressed gratitude for his career, saying wearing the Indian jersey was a dream come true.

Discarded Team India batter Cheteshwar Pujara announced his retirement from all forms of Indian cricket on Sunday, August 24.

Pujara bows out as India’s eighth-highest run-scorer in Tests, amassing 7,195 runs in 103 games at an average of 43.60, including 19 centuries and 35 fifties. In an era of attacking batters swarming Tests, Pujara succeeded with his methods – of grinding down attacks with sheer grit and immense patience to get runs for his team.
