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.
In five matches, Pujara has made 367 runs at an average of 91.75 and strike-rate of 120.72, becoming the second-highest run-scorer in the competition.
Pujara got his name etched in the Sussex history books as he compiled a brilliant 231 as it helped them post a massive 523 in their first innings against Middlesex at Lord's on Wednesday.
Gaining a 132-run lead after Mohammed Siraj picked four wickets while Jasprit Bumrah scalped three in a second session comeback to bowl out England for 284 in 61.3 overs, with Jonny Bairstow making a belligerent 106.
Mumbai Indians too did something quite similar, posting images of Kieron Pollard and Ashwin Murugan with kids and wrote, "Every child's guiding light, inspiration and role-model. A very #HappyFathersDay to all those out there."
Pujara scored 203, his second double century in three matches, while Rizwan found his form on his home debut with an innings of 79 as Sussex piled on 538.
