Recently, former India all-rounder Karsan Ghavri expressed that the forced retirement of Pujara might have come out of frustration. The frustration of not being able to cement his spot in the Test squad despite some major contributions for the national team. Ghavri, the 74-year-old all-rounder, not only Pujara but also the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma deserved to play their farewell Test matches. As quoted by Mid-Day, Ghavri said: “It’s possible, he may have retired out of frustration. After representing the country for so long, if a player is not getting chances, anyone will be frustrated. Similarly, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma must have felt that frustration too before the recent England tour. The BCCI may have their own ideas, but ultimately, the player suffers. These players are not demanding crores of rupees. It’s all about honour and they all deserved that farewell Test, 110 per cent.” Ghavri further stated that playing in more than 100 Test matches shows that impeccable experience of Pujara. His contributions are no less than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in Test cricket. He further said: “All those who have played 100 Tests, should be honoured with a farewell match. The BCCI should have given that honour to Kohli, Rohit and Pujara as they thoroughly deserved it considering their huge contribution to the game. No one wants to end their career like this. If someone has represented the country in 100 or more Tests, it is most definitely a sizeable contribution. He [Pujara] belongs to that distinguished list of players.” Cheteshwar Pujara featured in 103 Test matches for the Indian team, in which he scored 7195 runs at an average of 43.60 with 35 fifties and 19 hundreds to his name. In his 15-year Test career, Pujara played several gritty and match-defining knocks.
