Cheteshwar Pujara’s Continued Love Affair with County Cricket
Cheteshwar Pujara’s dedication to County Cricket was further demonstrated when he smashed an impressive 117 while playing for Sussex against Somerset. The right-handed batsman remained unbeaten, helping his team to successfully chase down the steep target of 318 with four wickets and 11 balls to spare. The Saurashtra cricketer also showcased his skill in the First Class for Sussex, and with his latest century in List A, Pujara has sent a clear message to the BCCI selectors that he is still a force to be reckoned with.
Pujara Dropped from Test Series Against West Indies
For those who may not be aware, Pujara was dropped from the Test series against West Indies due to his lack of success in the Border Gavaskar Trophy and the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia. In his absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal managed to seize the opportunity and scored a century on his Test debut. However, the left-handed batsman was not playing at Pujara’s usual number three position.
Shubman Gill’s Performance Against West Indies
Shubman Gill was the one to take up the number three role against West Indies, but he failed to make a significant impact. This could be the reason why Pujara’s latest performance in County Cricket has caught the attention of the selectors.
Conclusion
Cheteshwar Pujara’s latest success in County Cricket proves that he is still a force to be reckoned with, and his performance should be taken into consideration by the BCCI selectors.
