Chetshwar Puajra is usually known for his rock-solid defense and so bowlers often struggle to breach his defense once he settles on the crease. However, Pujara has been playing in a contrary style in Royal London One-day Cup and smashed 174 runs from just 131 balls in a game against Surrey.

Cheteshwar Pujara, known for being India’s premier Test batsman at present, batted ruthlessly on Friday for Sussex during their fixture against Warwickshire in the ongoing Royal London Cup. The veteran bludgeoned 22 runs in a single over bowled by Liam Norwell before reaching 100 in just 73 balls.

After being recalled to the India Test squad for the deciding Test against England, taking place in July, Cheteshwar Pujara has revealed that the comeback was not on his mind when he went to play for Sussex. Pujara has been in stupendous form in county cricket, scoring 720 runs in five games so far.

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammed Rizwan has praised Cheteshwar Pujara for his focus and concentration level saying he wants to have such intense focus. Rizwan further added that Pujara’s advice to play close to the body in England has helped him in the ongoing County Championship so far.
