Retiring from one format of the game to focus on another is a common event in cricket. Some popular cricketers such as Quinton de Kock have also taken this decision. Around a year ago, there were multiple reports that a few Indian players would also take this route. However, that did not happen and they are in top form right now. On that note, in this article, we take a look at three popular Indian cricketers who were rumoured to take retirement from Test cricket a few months ago.
1) Ravindra Jadeja
A few months ago, Ravindra Jadeja was suffering from too many injuries. He missed key Test matches for the country.

However, the player himself put the rumours to rest by posting a picture of himself in whites when the rumours were at their peak.
2) Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya is also one of the popular Indian cricketers who were rumoured to take retirement from Test cricket a few months ago.

3) Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Like the other two on this list, Bhuvneshwar also had a lot of injuries. A few popular outlets published that Bhuvi is close to Test retirement.
