Cheteshwar pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara burst onto the Test scene with a sumptuous 72 against Australia. His ODI career, though, neither took off in similar fashion, nor scaled the heights of his Test career, writes Shashwat Kumar. Whenever speaking about Pujara, the first thought is of a stoic batter who puts a massive price on his wicket. He grafts his way through tough situations, takes brutal blows on the body, refuses to budge from the crease, and outlasts vicious spells from the finest in the world. The ability to buckle down has fetched him handsome rewards in Test cricket. Despite not being in great form of late in international cricket, Pujara is India’s ninth-highest run-scorer in Tests. Another 76 runs runs will take him past Dilip Vengsarkar. In limited-overs cricket, though, the same attributes – of waiting for the right moment to attack, of opting for caution, of grinding bowling attacks into submission – are not quite in vogue. It is not that Pujara is not a fine white-ball player. Put a 50-innings cut-off, and he has the seventh-best List A average of all time. Among Indians, only Ruturaj Gaikwad and Virat Kohli have better tallies. Unfortunately, with the resources India had at their disposal in the 2010s, and the manner in which the ODI game was evolving, Pujara simply could not establish a foothold on the international stage. A blip: that was all Pujara’s ODI debut came in 2013, as part of a second-string Indian squad that toured Zimbabwe under a young Kohli. He did not featu...

More than 1,000 of those runs were scored in the County Championship, where Sussex finished seventh in Division Two. "I am glad to be back with Sussex for the 2023 season," he told the club's website external-link . "I thoroughly enjoyed my stint with the club last season, both on and off the field and I'm looking forward to contributing to the team's growth and success in the coming year." Pujara has 96 Test caps for India, scoring 6,792 runs, and 51 runs from five one-day international appearances. He made his professional debut for Saurashtra in 2005 and has represented Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings. He has spent time at Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire - and two spells at Yorkshire - when playing in England previously.

The Kings XI Punjab opted for Cheteshwar Pujara's services next. The 33-year-old had a decent season with KXIP, where he scored 125 runs in six innings. However, his low strike rate of 100.81 led to his release from the team. With Cheteshwar Pujara set to play for the Chennai Super Kings this year, here's a look at his T20 and IPL numbers.

Sunil Gavaskar dissected the dismissals of India’s top order after second day of the World Test Championship final against Australia. The top-ranked Test side were reduced to 50/3 with the trio of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara not going beyond the 20 run mark. By close of play, India were struggling at 151/5 and trailed Australia by 318 runs. Ajinkya Rahane (29*) and KS Bharat (5*) remained alive at stumps. Read | WTC Final 2023: Sunil Gavaskar 'concerned' with India's No 6 batting choice WTC Final 2023: What do stats tell us about India vs Australia Test matches? Having dismissed Australia for 469 runs with Steve Smith and Travis Head scoring centuries and Mohammed Siraj emerging as the top bowler, it was on the batters to do their part in the fight. Rohit and Gill started brightly but in the sixth over, Cummins trapped the India skipper leg before. Three balls later, Scott Boland castled Gill who offered no shot. It was a repeat telecast when Pujara attempted to let the ball go off Cameron Green’s bowling. “I think it’s a couple of misjudgements from probably like Shubman Gill, who has been in great form. Losing him was a big blow. Rohit Sharma has been not in the best of touches in the IPL. So, him playing across the line was not that much of a surprise. But again Pujara, not quite covering his stumps and getting out. So these were the dismissals that could have been avoided,” said Gavaskar on Sky Sports. “But to Australia’s credit, they bowled a much...

By India Today Sports Desk: Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has said India batter Cheteshwar Pujara failed in the final of the World Test Championship despite playing for Sussex in the County Championship. Speaking on his Youtube channel, Kaneria said Pujara did not manage to score runs despite playing County Cricket for Sussex before the WTC Final. Pujara scored just 41 runs for India over the course of the two innings in the WTC Final. He went on to say that Pujara’s performance shows that Australian bowlers were far better than County Cricket bowlers. Pujara played County Cricket with Sussex for a couple of months to prepare himself for the WTC Final in June. “The Australian bowlers were far better, and he couldn't deliver against them. He played and practiced on the kind of wicket for a couple of months and was well aware of the conditions, but still, he was unable to play a top-notch innings,” Kaneria added. Pujara, along with the rest of the Indian top-order failed to score big runs and guide their side to WTC glory. None of the top-four Indian batters even scored a half-century over the course of the two innings. Pujara scored 14 in the first innings and 27 in the second innings. Meanwhile, captain Rohit Sharma chipped in 15 and 43, Shubman Gill scored 13 and 18, and superstar batter Virat Kohli hit 14 and 49 in the two innings in the WTC Final. India will now travel to the Caribbean, where they will face the West Indies in two Test matches, three one-day int...

Read more India's clash with Australia at The Oval gets underway on Wednesday, just days before the five-match series between England and Australia starts at Edgbaston on June 16. Veteran paceman Broad, 36, has become a player Australia fans love to hate during a lengthy career that has yielded 582 wickets in 162 Tests. And he caused more ire in April when he said Australia's 4-0 series win over England in 2021/22 did not count as "a real Ashes" win, because Covid-19 restrictions made it void. Australia now face a packed schedule of six Tests in under eight weeks that promises to test the stamina of their fast bowlers in particular. Broad, asked Tuesday what he would like to see in the final, replied: "I don't want to upset any more Aussies! "I would like it to be an old school, hard-fought Test match where India do really well, get Pujara booked in nicely, and then Kohli comes in and scores a great hundred." Despite the hectic schedule, Australia captain Pat Cummins, a 30-year-old fast bowler plagued by injuries earlier in his career, believes he can lead the tourists in all six of their Tests. "It's a balance. I've been exhausted and depleted before but still got up and felt like I did a really good job, said Cummins, who has taken 217 wickets in 49 Tests. "I'll be aiming to play all six. There's some good breaks in between every batch of two Test matches here, so I think it's manageable." England go into the Ashes in confident mood thanks to their aggressive style, whic...

Overview Cheteshwar Pujara is India’s version of the “Great Wall of China,” earning the title of “crisis man” in Test cricket for more than a decade. He has built his cricket career on qualities such as resilience, fortitude, patience, focus, and persistence—a lost set of qualities in the midst of the modern-day T20 mindset. Career Brief Cheteshwar Pujara, a young teenager in the early 2000s, made heads turn when he smashed a triple hundred at the U14 level and then went on to score a double hundred at the U19 level. In the eyes of the cricketing public, India had a natural heir to Rahul Dravid, and he earned the moniker “Wall 2.0.” He overcame numerous obstacles and scored consistently in domestic cricket thanks to his grit, determination, resolve, and fortitude. The national call was merely a formality that took place in 2010. • When did Cheteshwar Pujara make his Test debut? Cheteshwar Pujara made his India Test debut in 2010 against Australia in Bengaluru. He made an immediate impact, scoring 72 runs in the second innings to help India chase down 207 for a fourth-inning win and complete a 2-0 clean sweep of Australia. From then on, India discovered a batter capable of holding the fort in a crisis and ensuring that the team’s superstars can bat around him and score big runs. • India’s batting mainstay at number 3 After Rahul Dravid retired in 2012, Pujara easily filled his shoes at number three. Pujara scored hundreds of runs, both at home and away, to lead his team to ...
