This was my personal phone call – Cheteshwar Pujara
Pujara made it very clear that he was not forced to retire, and it was his personal decision to say goodbye to professional cricket to make way for younger talents.
“This was my personal phone call and I decided that this is the right time, especially when young players would get opportunities in the domestic cricket.

So this was not my personal phone team in recent years.” he added.
