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.

Karun Nair waited for about 8 years to return to Team India, and in fact, when he returned, every chance kept slipping from his hand. He was able to score just 205 runs in 8 innings on the England tour. After three Tests, India was lagging behind 1-2 in the series, and Karun Nair was dropped from the Manchester Test. During this match, a video surfaced, in which Karun Nair is sitting full of sorrow, while KL Rahul is trying to boost his morale by placing his hand on his shoulder. After that, the topic of Nair’s retirement started trending, but now this star batsman of India himself has released a big statement on his retirement and viral video with KL Rahul.

During a conversation with Inside Sport, Karun Nair was asked the question that people said a lot on the viral video with KL Rahul. Even people started making claims that Nair will now retire.

What is the truth?

Talking to Inside Sport, Karun Nair said, “I believe that video was made from AI. This is not a real video. Yes, we were sitting in the balcony, but what was shown in the video is not true.” Karun Nair told that he has known KL Rahul for the last 12 years and has a good friendship with the famous Krishna. Krishna and Rahul always helped him in difficult times.

On England Tour, Karun Nair got a chance to bat on number-3 in 6 innings, but he flopped every time. Apart from this, he was also tried at number-5 and sixth order. On the entire tour, he scored 205 runs in 8 innings, with his highest score of 57 runs.

I stil remember karun nair’s tears a few days ago. I felt very bad to see him in this condition. When no one study with him, kl was with him. He did not leave his friend alone in this Difacity Time, and Today Karun has once again proved his ability. I am very happy for Him.ork pic.twitter.com/cv9utmgp9g
