Cheteshwar Pujara’s Contribution To Test Cricket Is Very Valuable, Says Anil Chaudhary
World Test Championship: Former international cricket umpire Anil Chaudhary paid a glowing tribute to Cheteshwar Pujara following his retirement from all forms of Indian cricket, calling him an ‘unsung hero’ whose contribution to Test cricket will always remain very valuable.
On Sunday, Pujara announced that he has retired from the game with immediate effect, ending a stellar career worth 103 Tests and 7,195 Test runs at an average of 43.60. He also played five ODIs in his international cricket career and last featured for India in the 2023 World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval.
“He was a tremendous player. I served as an umpire in so many matches he played. Not only as a batter, as a human also he’s very good and his contribution to Test cricket is very valuable. I always felt that he and (Ajinkya) Rahane have been heroes who haven’t been much discussed. But he went on to play so many Test matches, so what a player and very humble, down to earth," Chaudhary told IANS on the sidelines of the CLT10 league.
