Pujara’s contract with English county Sussex ends; Unadkat to continue stint
Pujara's Saurashtra teammate Jaydev Unadkat has linked up with Sussex to continue his County Championship stint from the previous season.
Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara is recognised as one of the best batsmen in the world in Test match cricket but has failed to replicate his success in limited-overs cricket. Pujara has featured in as many as 77 Tests for India and averages nearly 50 in the longest format of the game. However, he has only played 5 ODIs and scored 51 runs between August-June 2014.
Indian spine great Dilip Doshi has now come in support of Doshi and stated that Pujara deserves a place in the ODI team.
“I will not drop a guy like Pujara from my ODI team,” said Doshi in a chat with Playwrite Foundation.

“I will ask him to hold one end and keep on batting till the 50th over and I think he is quite capable of it. It hurts me when people call a high-class batsman such Cheteshwar Pujara as too slow,” Doshi added.
Pujara went unsold in the Indian Premier League auction for the 13th edition and has never played a T20 for India.
