Thank you for making my job easier at 4 pujji: Kohli’s post for retired Pujara
Former India captain Virat Kohli paid an emotional tribute to Cheteshwar Pujara after the veteran batter announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket.
Former India captain Virat Kohli paid an emotional tribute to Cheteshwar Pujara after the veteran batter announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket.
Pujara made his test debut for India on October 9, 2010 against Australia.
Cheteshwar Pujara’s ability to bat for long periods and dominate the pitch has left a lasting impression on his former India teammate Rohit Sharma.
India’s Test stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara has voiced his support for KL Rahul to retain his place at the top of the order, even suggesting that Rohit Sharma could move down to No.3 to accommodate him for the day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval, starting December 6.
Pujara's Saurashtra teammate Jaydev Unadkat has linked up with Sussex to continue his County Championship stint from the previous season.
Pujara has scored 20,013 runs at an average of 51.98 in 260 first-class matches. In this format, he has tallied 61 hundreds and 78 fifties; his highest score is 352.
A combined tally of 188 Tests and 12,272 runs is very hard to ignore, but with both 35, and enduring a dry spell of runs, the selectors deemed it the best time to pass on the baton to the younger players.
Top-order batter Cheteshwar Pujara stood tall with his 36 not out as India trail Australia by nine runs at Tea on day two of third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Holkar Stadium, here on Thursday.
The match is going to be a landmark for Cheteshwar Pujara as he will be playing his 100th Test.
Bangladesh are now expecting some charisma from their star all rounder Shakib Al Hasan who’s still standing on the crease.
