The year 2024 was a mixed one for cricket fans. Last year, many legendary players had said goodbye to cricket. This list includes Australia’s famous opener David Warner to India’s Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin was the last player to retire in 2024. Speaking more about the Indian cricketers, several senior players might hang their boots in 2025. Let us check out 3 such Indian cricketers who might retire in 2025.
Indian cricketers who might retire in 2025
Rohit Sharma
The year 2024 was a mixed one for captain Rohit Sharma. On one hand, India won the T20 World Cup under his captaincy; on the other hand, India lost the historic Test series 0-3 to New Zealand at home. Rohit’s performance is continuously declining in Test cricket. According to media reports, after the IND vs AUS Sydney Test, Rohit Sharma can announce his retirement from the Test format.
Ajinkya Rahane
Former India captain Ajinkya Rahane has been out of the team for a long time. He created a storm while playing for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The 36-year-old Rahane had scored the most runs in that tournament, but his return to the team now seems to be difficult. Rahane last played the match in July 2023. Since then, he has been out of the Test team.
Cheteshwar Pujara
One of India’s best No. 3, Cheteshwar Pujara’s last test match for India was in the ICC WTC 2021-23 final in June 2023 against Australia. He was dropped from the side in 2022 but managed to make a comeback. But it wasn’t a fruitful comeback, and he was axed after the ICC WTC final in 2023. Shubman Gill has cemented his place at No. 3 now. Pujara also recently joined the commentators’ team for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. It looks like the fans won’t see Pujara play for India anymore.
