After Pujara, now another experienced player can take retirement, has scored more than 36000 runs
Retirement: An era in Indian cricket was felt today when Cheteshwar Pujara suddenly announced retirement from all formats. But surprisingly, now another player, who has been associated with Indian cricket for the last two decades, is preparing to take a big decision regarding his career. This player has scored more than 36,000 runs including international and domestic cricket and has also been a long part of the Indian Test team. But now he too can announce retirement any day like Pujara.
This player is eyeing
Yes, Ajinkya Rahane is talking. After Pujara, the speculation about Rahane’s retirement has intensified. Rahane is currently not part of the Indian team and is limited to domestic cricket. He has played 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20 matches in his career. Rahane may have scored around 8000 runs in international cricket, but his total career has reached above 36,000 runs, including the first class, List A and T20, which makes him one of the most experienced cricketers in India.
2023 Wtc final was the last big chance
Rahane got the last major chance to play for India in the World Test Championship final in 2023, where he performed well. But soon after this, on the West Indies tour, he could not show anything special, due to which he was dropped from the team and was not given a chance again. BCCI and team management are now showing more confidence in young players, and are gradually out of the plan to seniors like Rahane. This is the reason that speculation about Rahane’s retirement has reached its peak.
Identification has been a calm nature
Ajinkya Rahane has always been a calm, disciplined and a player with the mentality of giving first importance to the team. His captaincy will be remembered for a long time in the 2020-21 historical Test series win in Australia. But every player has a turn in his career where the path ahead has to be decided by itself. After Pujara’s farewell, the cricket world is now eyeing Rahane. They can also announce retirement soon.
