Cricket News Desk. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has ended its relations with Fantasy Sports Company Dream 11. Board Secretary Devjit Saikia confirmed this on Monday. Now BCCI is considering finding a new chief sponsor. Devjit Saikia said, ’37 -year -old Cheteshwar Pujara announced his retirement from cricket last Sunday. Pujara played his last match for India against Australia in the final of the 2023 World Test Championship. After this, he never got a chance to play for his country. In such a situation, we are going to tell you about 5 great Indian cricketers who did not get a chance to play a farewell match before retirement.

Gautam Gambhir
Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir did not get a chance to play a farewell match before his retirement. Gautam Gambhir retired in 2018. Gambhir has played 58 Tests, 147 ODIs and 37 T20 matches for India.

Cheteshwar Pujara
Indian veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara also did not get a chance to play a farewell match before retirement. He played his last match for India in 2023 against Australia in the WTC final.

Shikhar Dhawan

Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan will retire from international cricket in 2024. He played his last match for Team India in 2022 against Bangladesh. Gabbar also did not get a chance to play a farewell match.

MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni fully retired from international cricket after retiring from ODI format on 15 August 2020. Mahi suddenly took this decision. Dhoni played his last match for India against New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup. The match was semi -finals.

Virender Sehwag
Indian veteran opener Virender Sehwag also did not get a chance to play a farewell match. Veeru retired from cricket in 2015. He played his last match for India in 2013 against Australia. Please tell that it was a Test match. Under the law, it will be difficult for BCCI to continue its contract with Dream 11 or any other similar gaming company. I do not think the BCCI will now be able to continue its contract with Dream 11. We are considering this option.
