The post that started it all was a simple, yet cryptically worded message from Pujara, hinting at spending the season with “SupperKings.” This play on words was enough to send the rumor mill into overdrive.

The subsequent post from Pujara cleared the air, revealing his involvement in a new advertising campaign for Zomato, alongside celebrities like actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and actor Ranveer Singh. The playful caption, “No one was harmed in this collab! We cool,” put to rest any further speculations.
Cheteshwar Pujara, a name synonymous with resilience in Test cricket, is no stranger to the limelight. Although primarily known for his stoic presence in the longest format of the game, Pujara’s recent activity off the field caused quite the stir among the vibrant IPL community.
Meanwhile, CSK continues to perform well in the IPL 2024, securing another victory against Mumbai Indians and maintaining a strong position in the league standings. With this, they are now currently 3rd in the IPL points table with 8 points in six matches.
