Shocking! Harsha Bhogle Wants Pujara To Retire: In a recent tweet, Harsha Bhogle commented on Cheteshwar Pujara’s recent string of low scores, saying that “the lens will be on an under-performing batting side” after Pujara’s decision to step down from the Test captaincy.
Bhogle, who is a respected cricket commentator and analyst, said that Pujara has had a “fabulous career” and was “at the heart of the two great series wins in Australia in 2018/21.” However, he also noted that Pujara’s recent form has been “poor” and that he “needs to find a way to score runs again.”
Bhogle’s comments come as India’s batting has struggled in recent months. The team has lost two World Test Championship Finals in 2021 and 2023.

Bhogle’s comments have sparked a debate about Pujara’s future in the Test team. Some have argued that he should be dropped, while others have said that he should be given more time to find his form. Only time will tell whether Pujara can regain his form and help India return to the top of the Test rankings. However, Bhogle’s comments suggest that the pressure is on Pujara to perform in the upcoming Test games.
It has been a fabulous career, he was at the heart of the two great series wins in Australia in 2018/21, but I am not writing a Pujara obit yet. We almost wrote one for Rahane and he was India's best batter in the WTC final. And is now the vice-captain. But yes, the Pujara…

As India gears up for the upcoming Test series against West Indies, Pujara is not selected in the Indian Test side. In recent months, India’s batting has been struggling, and cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle believes that Pujara needs to find a way to score runs again.
I hope this signals the transition in the our batting. Too many sitting outside waiting for their chances while we keep rotating a handful if players

Failure to do so could result in him being dropped from the Test team forever. With the stakes high and expectations soaring, Pujara will have to step up his game and prove his mettle on the field.
Well it will be unfair if you don’t give chance to young and promising members in playing XI. While if you continue to play someone like Pujara for few more matches, he can give you a performance or two but that’s the end of story & when you play someone younger, that’s a future…
