The wives of cricketers Suresh Raina and Cheteshwar Pujara, Puja Pabari Pujara and Priyanka Chaudhary Raina, have discussed their struggles and methods for providing for their families in the face of adversity.
In India, cricket is revered as a religion and its players as gods. Though the athletes and their families may appear to have it all together, enjoying a life of luxury and splendour, on the outside, the truth is quite different. Every day, the better halves of cricket players confront difficult obstacles as well because they have to provide stability for their families so that their partners may concentrate on their performances.
Puja, a mother, manager, and housewife, claimed that the media had given cricketers spouses a glamorous image that is inaccurate
People assume that all we do is travel and lead the ideal life. However, they are unaware that families must adhere to the strict lifestyle that cricket players lead. According to Pujara, “it just looks glamorous on the outside, but there are challenges, sweat, and everything in between” in the second News18 SheShakti episode in New Delhi.

Priyanka, who is also a co-founder of Maate, pointed out that the positive portrayal of the athletes’ lives on social media was caused by this. She claimed that, like other families, theirs is a life of hardships and difficulties.
Our shared goal is to provide our kids with a loving, orderly, and conducive environment at home. Priyanka stated, “While we occasionally make sacrifices by putting our problems on hold, they also make sacrifices by travelling for months and missing out on seeing their kids, which wears them down.
Our shared goal is to provide our kids with a loving, orderly, and conducive environment at home. They sacrifice too by travelling for months and not being able to see their children, which takes a toll on them, just as we sometimes sacrifice by putting our problems on the back burner’, she continued.
