The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also extended birthday wishes to Pujara on social media, celebrating his stellar contributions to Indian cricket.



The right-handed batter has an impressive record in international cricket, with 103 Test appearances yielding 7,195 runs at an average of 43.60, including 19 centuries and 35 half-centuries. He has also represented India in five ODIs.

While his future in the national team remains uncertain, Puja's touching message reflects the unwavering support and love that has been a constant in Pujara's life, both on and off the field.
