[Watch] "My post batting ritual"- Cheteshwar Pujara posts video of meeting his daughter while returning to dressing room
Cheteshwar Pujara recently uploaded a video of his new post-batting ritual while reacting to Sussex's latest match result in county cricket. Pujara posted a carousel of photos, followed by a video of himself meeting his daughter while walking back to the dressing room.
Pujara played for Sussex in their most recent County Division 2 match against Middlesex. The right-handed batter continued his excellent form and notched up another century in the competition.
He managed only 16 runs in the first innings but followed it up with an innings of 170 runs in the second innings. Pujara's fantastic ton helped Sussex set a 370-run target for Middlesex. However, a 181-ball 149 from Sam Robson guided Middlesex home with seven wickets in hand.
Reacting to the match's result, Cheteshwar Pujara wrote on Instagram:
"Not the result we wanted but we'll come back stronger @sussexccc P.S: Swipe to see my post batting ritual." (The last slide features his post batting ritual.)

Sussex will play their next game against Leicestershire from May 12 onwards. It will be interesting to see if they can snap their winless streak in that fixture.
