NEW DELHI: India’s Test batting icon Cheteshwar Pujara performed a powerful position within the opening Test event towards Bangladesh which India received by way of an enormous margin of 188 runs.
Pujara overlooked out on a century within the first innings and departed for 90 however the celebrity batsman left that unhappiness at the back of quickly and reached the triple-figure mark in the second one innings. The right-hander notched up his nineteenth Test century, scoring 102 off 130 balls at a strike charge of 78.46. This was once his quickest century in Tests.
With 19 centuries, Pujara has joined the greats like Ross Taylor (New Zealand), Gordon Greenidge (West Indies), Clive Lloyd (West Indies), and Mike Hussey (Australia).
With India, who’re 1-up within the two-match sequence, slated to tackle Bangladesh in the second one Test from Thursday (December 22), Pujara may have the danger to move previous Australia batting legend Donald Bradman.
