Cheteshwar Pujara is the fifth Indian cricketer to retire in 2025. Before them, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from the Test, on the other hand Varun Aaron and Wriddhiman Saha have retired from all formats of cricket. It seems as if this process of retirement is not going to stop here, because many other Indian cricketers are also standing on the threshold of retirement. So know about those Indian cricketers who can retire very soon.
Ajinkya Rahane
Ajinkya Rahane represented Team India in 195 international matches, which has 8414 runs in his name. More than two years have passed since he played the last match for India. He has not played any white ball match for Team India after 2018. Looking at the youth Test team getting ready, they are also expected to return to the red-ball format. They can also announce retirement very soon.
Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra has retired from the Indian Premier League, but till now he has not said goodbye to international cricket. He took 156 wickets in his international career and after 2017 he has not returned to the Indian team. New options of leg spin have been constantly coming, while Amit Mishra’s age has also been 42. Therefore, it seems that their retirement is not far away.
Karun Nair
Karun Nair had a chance to show some miracles after 8 years, but on the England tour, he was able to score only 205 runs in 8 innings. After 2017, he returned to the Indian team in 2025. He was tried on number-3 as well as fifth order, but his bat could not do anything special. Now hardly he could get a chance in playing XI.
