Sachin Tendulkar@sachin_rt:
Pujara, it was always reassuring to see you walk out at No. 3. You brought calm, courage, and a deep love for Test cricket every time you played. Your solid technique, patience, and composure under pressure have been a pillar for the team.

Ravi Shastri@RaviShastriOfc:
A real warrior. He was instrumental in my stint as coach for India being the No. 1 side for five years on the trot and the two back-to-back series wins in Australia where he was simply brilliant.
