Team India`s Cheteshwar Pujara on Sunday announced his retirement from all the formats of the game. He made the announcement by sharing a post on his official social media handle.

"Wearing the Indian jersey, singing the anthem, and trying my best each time I stepped on the field - it’s impossible to put into words what it truly meant. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and with immense gratitude I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket. Thank you for all the love and support!," his post read. 

Following his retirement, he evoked admiration from the cricketing fraternity, from his former teammates and coaches for his grit, determination and dominance.
