Cheteshwar Pujara celebrated his Indian team’s comeback with a gritting half-century against England in the Birmingham test. Pujara is still not on 50 runs in the 2nd innings of the match and is batting alongside Rishabh Pant. Both of them have a history of batting well together, and they would want to do the same again.
Pujara was dropped from the Indian test team after the South African tour due to his continuous poor performances, and he then went on to play in the Ranji Trophy for Saurashtra. He went unsold in the IPL auction, which allowed him to play some County Cricket for Sussex, and it paved the way for him to make his comeback to the Indian team.
Pujara scored 720 runs in five matches for Sussex at an average of 120.00, courtesy of four centuries, where his highest score was 203. These performances in England were enough for him to get his place back in the side. He played as an opener with Shubhman Gill in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
A pivotal day in the series coming up 🔜
