Indian Cricketers: Whenever he reaches 35 age in Indian cricket, the discussion of retirement starts automatically. But there are some players who stand on the field with the same passion and energy even after this age as a young player’s first series.
There are two such Indian cricketers who have crossed the age of 37, but they either smile or postpone the questions as soon as they hear the name of retirement.
The two Indian cricketers we are talking about are Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara. Both these players have crossed the age of 37, yet they are far away from retirement.
Ajinkya Rahane, who started his international career against England in 2011, has now crossed the age of 37. In Test cricket, he has scored 5077 runs in 85 matches for India, including 12 centuries and 26 half -centuries.
Rahane’s career was full of many ups and downs, but every time he returned and proved how important is on the experience and restraint. He has also scored 2962 runs in ODIs and 375 runs in T20.
Pujara’s technology still examples for young players
Cheteshwar Pujara has also crossed the age of 37, but his contribution to Test cricket is still considered precious. He has played 103 Test matches for India and scored 7195 runs at an average of 43.60. He has 19 centuries and 35 half -centuries.
Even though he did not get much opportunities in the ODI career (ODI), Pujara’s technical strength in the red ball cricket cricket includes him among the most trusted batsmen of Team India.
Shocked as soon as you hear the name of retirement
The age of these two Indian cricketers may be close to retirement, but their enthusiasm is still no less than a young player. Whenever they are asked questions about retirement, they either smile or avoid.
Both of them believe that as long as fitness and form are together, there is no reason for distance from the ground. Rahane and Pujara have pulled India out of difficulties on many important occasions. In such a situation, despite his age, it is not yet visible to bend towards retirement.
Be it a historic Test series of 2020-21 in Australia or challenging pitches in England, both of these Indian Cricketers have always batted responsibly. Even though the new generation of young players is now emerging, the pair is still playing the role of mentor for the team.
