These 4 players abandoned the dream of playing cricket, will retire from Team India without playing the last match

Team India: Every player dreams to play on the field, take farewell to the applause and take the country’s jersey proudly. But there are some stars whose career ends quietly, without farewell. Team India is four such experienced players who have been out of the team for a long time and are now moving towards retirement from international cricket without playing the last match. Let us know who these 4 players are-

Fast bowler Umesh Yadav has contributed significantly to all three formats for Team India. However, for the last few years, he has been running out of Team India and the possibility of his return is also blurred.

Umesh has taken 170 wickets in 57 Tests for India, 105 in 75 ODIs and 12 wickets in 9 T20s. His last international match came in 2023 and since then he has not been a part of the national team. In such a situation, it is believed that Umesh can also retire without playing a farewell match.

Ishant Sharma: After a long spell, now the last echo of career

Ishant Sharma, who was among the most experienced Test fast bowlers of Team India, has the distinction of playing more than 100 Tests, but he is out of the team since 2021. The possibility of his return is also considered almost over.

Ishant Sharma has taken 311 wickets in 105 Tests for Team India, 115 in 80 ODIs and 8 wickets in 14 T20s. Ishant’s career, who has been away from the field for a long time, has now reached the last turn.

Cheteshwar Pujara: After the wall, now ready to fall curtain

Cheteshwar Pujara is called the ‘wall’ of Indian Test cricket, but the time and form killed him out of the team. Pujara played his final Test match in 2023, and since then he has been out of the selectors’ plan.

He scored 7195 runs in 103 Tests, including several memorable innings. However, he did not get much opportunities in ODIs and he scored 51 runs in just 5 matches. Now the indication is that Pujara will also bid farewell without playing the last match.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Swing magician also now close to screen

Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s swing bowling has won India many times, but the rapid entry of injuries and young bowlers has almost closed the doors for him. He has played 21 Tests, 121 ODIs and 87 T20s for India.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been out of the team for the last one year and is also seen in a limited role in domestic cricket. In such a situation, his career can also end without an official farewell match.
