New Delhi: Indian Test team's leading batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has retired from all formats after his nearly 20-year-long cricket career. He made his domestic cricket debut in 2005, when he played a first-class match between Saurashtra and Vidarbha. After this, he also made his mark in international cricket for about 13 years. In February 2025, he played his last first-class match against Gujarat. Although he was out of Team India for a long time, there has been no significant reduction in his earnings. He is earning lakhs of rupees monthly from domestic cricket and other sources.

Pujara's total assets are around Rs 24 crore. Despite being out of the team, he has kept his sources of income strong.

Earnings From Domestic Cricket

After being out of Team India, Pujara focused completely on domestic cricket. By scoring runs consistently for Saurashtra and playing an important role in big tournaments like Ranji Trophy, he kept getting a good salary every season. Match fees from domestic cricket from BCCI are also a big part of his income. Along with this, his income also increases from advertisements of many national and local brands.

Good Earnings From Brand Endorsements Too

Pujara's personality is as calm and restrained as his lifestyle is simple. He does not have many expensive cars, but there are cars of brands like Audi and Ford in his garage. He likes to stay away from glamour and lives a disciplined professional life.

Brilliant International Career

Pujara made his international cricket debut in 2010 with a Test match against Australia in Bengaluru. He made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2013. Although his ODI career did not last long, he made his mark in Test cricket for 13 years. He played 103 Test matches for India and scored over 7000 runs. Despite not getting a big chance in the IPL, his Test and domestic career kept him financially strong.
