IND vs NZ: A 3-match T20 series is being played between India and Bangladesh. After this, the Indian team will host New Zealand for a 3-match test series. A test series of 3 matches will be played between the two countries. It will start from 16th October.

With the end of this series, two veteran players of Indian cricket can announce their retirement. Let us know who these players are and why they may decide to retire.

IND vs NZ: These two legends can retire

1.Cheteshwar Pujara

36 year old Cheteshwar Pujara has been waiting to return to Team India for a long time. But now it seems almost impossible for him to get a chance. He has batted at number 3 for India for a long time in Test cricket. But Shubhman Gill has taken possession of this position. In such a situation, if Pujara does not get a chance in the upcoming series against New Zealand, then he can announce his retirement.

Ajinkya Rahane has also been an important part of the Indian batting in Test cricket for a long time, but for some time now he too is being ignored by the selectors. He was also not given a chance in the Test series against Bangladesh. Therefore, there is every possibility that if he does not get a place in Team India against the Kiwi team, then he can say goodbye to cricket. Rahane played his last international match on the West Indies tour in Coolie 2023.

Such was the performance of both

Pujara has scored 7195 runs for India in 176 innings of 103 Test matches at an average of 43.61. During this period, he has also scored 19 centuries and 35 half-centuries with his bat. Apart from this, he has also played 5 ODI matches. On the other hand, if we look at the figures of Ajinkya Rahane, he has scored 10256 runs in 85 Test matches, 2962 runs in 90 ODIs and 375 runs in 20 T20 Internationals. He has 15 centuries and 51 half-centuries to his name in international cricket.
