celebrate big
After the end of the Test series, Pujara was talking on the Hindi channel of Sony Sports, the broadcaster of this series. Former India player Kaif was also present at this time. Kaif asked Pujara on air to openly celebrate this player of the series. He said that he should put its photo on social media.
Kaif said, “After scoring a century, your celebration was very simple. Do something brother, swing the bat, punch in the air because they show these visuals on TV, so people will also remember that Pujara had scored a century. Otherwise he will talk about your strike rate, talk about how you played. Put the Ye Jo Trophy Mila Hai Na, Puppy Do trophy on social media and tell people that you played well and made a great comeback to become the Player of the Series. Please Pujara.
Pujara gave this answer
After saying this to Kaif, Pujara said, “The runs I am scoring are enough for me. My bat does the rest. More than celebrating, I try to score runs and contribute to the team. It is not my nature to celebrate much.
