“On this day, I would like to thank all my teammates, coaches and all the support staff I have worked with, because this is a moment of pride for me. From a child, it was my dream of representing the Indian team from a young age and playing for India.
This was my personal call – Cheteshwar Puhala
Pujara made it very clear that he was not forced to retire. And it was his personal decision to say goodbye to professional cricket for his young talent.
“This is my personal call and I decided this is the right time, especially if younger players need to get opportunities in domestic cricket. I used to think I might play this lunge season, but if younger players get opportunities, they felt it was my personal call.
