"Thank you for making my job easier at 4": Virat Kohli hails Pujara on conclusion of successful Test career
Aug 26, 2025
Pujara called time on a successful international career for India on Sunday, marking an end of a 13-year-old career where he did the thankless job of tacking the new and shiny red ball, tiring down bowlers in order to make things easy for the Indian middle-order. Pujara made his international debut against Australia in Bengaluru on October 9, 2010. The latter played a total of 103 Tests and amassed 7195 runs at an average of 43.60. Pujara slammed 19 hundreds and 35 half-centuries throughout his international career with a highest score of 206*. He also played five ODIs, scoring 51 runs.
