Twitter reacts to ‘unlucky’ Cheteshwar Pujara’s freak run-out as it ends his stay
Cheteshwar Pujara’s love-story with the short-leg fielder has become a talking point of the series, with the right-hander getting out to an unlucky dismissal in the first Test. Pujara has now topped it off with a freakish run-out at the hands of the short-leg fielder to keep the tradition going.
That's so bizarre

7 - CHETESHWAR PUJARA
5 - Rangana Herath / Ross Taylor
4 - Hashim Amla / Azhar Ali#ENGvIND
Again Indian top order doing its best to throw away the match. What a disaster. Has anybody seen Pujara take a dive ever on cricket pitch @bcci @CricketNDTV

#IndvEng Pujara’s Run Out was unbelievable.... His bat got jabbed just on the line and then he tried to put his foot inside the crease and gloves as well..

That has been his series sadly
How unlucky has Pujara been this series! First Test short ball from Bess pulled perfectly, hits short leg fielder & lobs to short mid wicket & today bat getting stuck in the pitch. 😔#INDvENG
