Cheteshwar Pujara hits 22 in one over, high strike rate turns heads

The Hindu  

Cheteshwar Pujara found a different gear to his game with a 79-ball 107 for Sussex against Warwickshire in a Royal London One-Day Cup match in Birmingham on Friday. Having long been a mainstay in the Indian middle-order in Test cricket, Pujara had been dropped from the squad for the home series against Sri Lanka in February, following a lean patch that had seen him average 26.29 since the beginning of 2020 in the longest format. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/jbBOKpgiTI — Sussex Cricket August 12, 2022 In the Test series in South Africa, India’s last red-ball outing before the Sri Lanka, Pujara had only managed 124 runs in six innings while averaging 20.66. Following his exclusion from the Test squad, Pujara plied his trade in the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 season, in which he scored 191 runs in five innings at an average of 47.75, including a 91 against Mumbai. With the race for a spot in the World Test Championship final heating up, India will hope Pujara can replicate his form in the English domestic circuit at the international level and score his 19 th Test ton – which has eluded him since January 2019 – sooner than later.
