Bharat has managed to notch up mere 92 runs in four innings in the ongoing series and is yet to register a fifty in 12 Test innings of his career.
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.
Heaping praises on explosive southpaw Rinku Singh’s finishing skills, India head coach Rahul Dravid said that performances in the series against Afghanistan and the IPL will determine the players’ selection in the T20I World Cup squad.
India's first assignment under Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the India national cricket team will be against South Africa in an all-format tour starting December 20 following the ongoing Australia tour of India.
VVS Laxman spoke about the importance of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid partnership in the administration of Indian cricket.
While Tendulkar's numbers are better, Dravid seems to be a fan favourite for bailing India out of difficult situations especially in overseas conditions.
While Sourav Ganguly went on to score a 100, Rahul Dravid was not so lucky and got out just 5 runs short of the landmark in his debut Test at Lord's in 1996.
Ganguly however said that he was elated to watch the Indian team under MS Dhoni, which consisted of a number of players he played with, lift the 2011 World Cup.
MS Dhoni is one of the most successful captains of the Indian cricket team as he led India to T20 World Cup Win in 2007, the ICC Cricket World Cup triumph in 2011 as well as the ICC Champions Trophy victory in 2013.
