This is the Cheteshwar Pujara we always knew: Aakash Chopra
All Indian fans were elated to see a solid performance from India's Cheteshwar Pujara on Friday. It came when the team needed it the most. Former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra also echoed similar emotions when he reviewed India's batting performance on day 3 in a video on his official YouTube channel.
Speaking about Pujara's innings, Chopra said:
"This is the Cheteshwar Pujara we always knew, who plays strokes and is hitting the balls that deserve to be hit. Sometimes your strength puts shackles on your legs. Cheteshwar's strength is his defense and patience, that he can play the entire day and he has a rock-solid defense."
At stumps on day 3, India were placed at 215/2 with Cheteshwar Pujara(91*) and Virat Kohli(45*) at the crease. The first session on day four will be pivotal for both teams as a new ball will be available for Anderson and company. Indian batsmen need to play out this period without losing any wickets if they want to make a comeback in the Test.
