Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara paid an emotional tribute to long-time teammate Ajinkya Rahane after the latter announced his retirement from international cricket and all formats on Thursday.

Cheteshwar Pujara praised Rohit Sharma's composure under intense scrutiny after his historic ton against England at Lord's, saying the opener showed remarkable mental strength by shutting out external criticism.

Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has blamed India's lack of middle-order depth, shortage of quality all-rounders and poor fielding for the team's forgettable T20I tour of England.

Standout performances of Cheteshwar Pujara's exemplary Test career came in Australia but the former India number three, who was recently honoured with the MCC life membership, says he only got the home away from home feeling in England.

New Delhi, June 30 (IANS) Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes Shreyas Iyer has the leadership qualities to guide India in the upcoming T20I series in England but says the new captain’s biggest examination will come with the bat.

The spotlight is no longer unknown to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. From the day he scored the fastest century by an Indian in IPL 2025, the world has taken note of Sooryavanshi

The player has scored only 44 runs at an average of 6.29 and a strike rate of 74.58.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, has been tipped to make his senior India debut after IPL 2026.

Cheteshwar Pujara expressed surprise that Rishabh Pant has struggled to leave his mark on the shortest format.

Speaking on Star Sports, Pujara highlighted Holder's contributions with both bat and ball, underlining how the West Indies all-rounder had influenced the outcome of the high-pressure encounter.
