India batter Cheteshwar Pujara on Sunday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, bringing the curtain down on a career that spanned over 13 years. He retired as India's eighth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket, with 7,195 runs at an average of 43.60, including 19 centuries.
"Wearing the Indian jersey, singing the anthem, and trying my best each time I stepped on the field - it's impossible to put into words what it truly meant," Pujara wrote in a heartfelt social media post. "But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and with immense gratitude I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket. Thank you for all the love and support."
