The wait for Cheteshwar Pujara’s century is not taking its name. Team India’s wall Cheteshwar Pujara Had a chance to score a century in the first innings of the Chattogram Test but he missed the century by just 10 runs. Pujara last scored a century 1441 days ago and his wait is still going on. Let us tell you that this batsman last scored a century in the Sydney Test on January 3, 2019. Since then Pujara is yearning for a century.
Cheteshwar Pujara’s Test career is stuck on 18 centuries. Pujara has missed a century twice before. Pujara missed a century against England in Leeds last year. He was dismissed on a personal score of 91 and in Chattogram also he became a victim of nervous nineties.
Pujara gave support to Team India
Even though Pujara could not score a century, his innings of 90 runs gave support to Team India. Actually Team India had a very bad start in the first Test. He had lost three wickets before 20 overs. Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli proved unsuccessful. In such difficult times, it was Pujara who put the sinking boat ashore. Pujara completed his half-century in 125 balls and shared a half-century partnership with Pant and a century partnership with Shreyas Iyer.
Well played, Cheteshwar Pujara – 90 in 203 balls. Missed out on what could’ve been a Test century after 47 months and 51 innings. He richly deserved the ton today!
