Piyush Chawla Hints at Retirement, Jokes About Playing with Prithvi Shaw’s Son
Veteran Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla has playfully hinted at his retirement plans, suggesting that he might hang up his boots after former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Chawla, 35, remains an active player in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has expressed his desire to continue playing for several more years. In a recent interview on The Shubhankar Mishra Show, Chawla engaged in a light-hearted conversation with fellow cricketer Prithvi Shaw about his retirement plans.
“A while ago, Prithvi Shaw told me, ‘Bas karo yaar ab PC bhai.’ I said, I’ve played with Sachin paaji, and now playing with his son. I am playing with you, and after playing with your son, I will retire,” Chawla said with a smile.
Chawla’s remarks underscore his enduring passion for cricket. Despite no longer being a part of the Indian national team, the two-time World Cup winner continues to make a significant impact in the IPL.
When asked who might retire first, Chawla humorously pointed to his former India captain, MS Dhoni, saying, “Mahi bhai.” Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2020, also continues to play in the IPL like Chawla.
Both players are known for their longevity in cricket, continuing to perform at a high level despite their age. Chawla’s comments suggest that he plans to stay in the game for a while longer, entertaining cricket fans for more seasons to come.
