Cheteshwar Pujara during the Sydney Test match in Australia.
Meanwhile, Pujara may have done well in Australia but he will need a little more in England as his record in England is not that good. He failed to score big in both innings against New Zealand in the WTC final, and even in the first Test against England, he didn’t count for much.

It seems Cheteshwar Pujara still hasn’t forgotten India’s memorable tour under which India beat Australia 2-1 in the five-match Test series last year. Pujara stood like a rock as he tried to win games for India, especially his performance in the Sydney Test that will go down in history as one of the best. Speaking to BBC’s Test Match Special, he recalled the tour with fond memories and some colorful quotes. “At times you need to face the bullet. If you are batting at the top of the order for the Indian team, especially overseas, you need a lot of guts. You need to have a lot of patience and temperament. There are some innings where I had to get shot and that’s why they call me ‘Rock’,” Pujara said.
“It was difficult to judge the bounce of the ball. And there were balls that were hitting my body. I just told myself that even if it hit my body, I would put my hands down. I don’t want the ball to hit my gloves or bat. And that was mainly the game plan for anyone who was thrown short of a length,” explained Pujara.
Meanwhile, Pujara may have done well in Australia but he will need a little more in England as his record in England is not that good. He failed to score big in both innings against New Zealand in the WTC final, and even in the first Test against England, he didn’t count for much. Fans have high expectations from him thanks to his numbers in Australia last season, which read: Eight innings, 271 runs at 29. It may not sound high, but the runs came in difficult conditions, leading to the visitors losing the first Test. a huge margin.
