Jaydev Unadkat has played 22 international games across formats, last featuring in 2023. With limited chances and younger pacers stepping up, retirement could be imminent.
Vijay Shankar, who played his last game in 2019, struggled to make an impact. With rising competition in all-rounder slots, his international career appears close to an end.
Manish Pandey, last seen in 2021, has played 29 ODIs and 39 T20Is. Despite talent, he couldn’t secure a permanent spot and may soon step away from international cricket.
Ajinkya Rahane, a former Test captain, has over 5000 Test runs. With no place in the current squad and his last match in 2023, his retirement may be on the horizon.
Yuzvendra Chahal has been a key white-ball bowler for India with 121 ODI wickets and 96 T20I wickets. Having last played in 2023, the leg-spinner could be nearing retirement.
These players have contributed significantly in their careers, but with limited opportunities, retirement may soon become their next chapter.
