It has been a long time since Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who were once considered the backbone of the Indian Test cricket team, played their last Test match for Team India.

Ajinkya Rahane played his last match for Team India against West Indies at Queen's Park, Oval.

At the same time, Cheteshwar Pujara played Team India's last match against Australia at the Oval in 2023. At the same time, Amit Mishra played his last Test match in 2016. Amit Mishra is currently 41 years old, Pujara is 36 years old and Rahane is also 36 years old. In such a situation, these players can announce retirement.
