Cheteshwar Pujara ‘s stats against Australia are excellent
Cheteshwar Pujara ‘s statistics in Test cricket have been excellent. He is considered a batsman of Rahul Dravid’s style. But when it comes to Australia, Pujara’s style of playing changes completely. In the 2018-19 series against the Kangaroos, Pujara scored 521 runs in the four-match series , including three centuries . For which he also received the Man of the Series award. Apart from this, Pujara also scored 271 runs on the last Australian tour , on the basis of which Team India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the second consecutive time.
Will Team India’s captain change in Perth Test?
If we talk about Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, then this time the challenge for Team India is very big. To reach the final of the World Test Championship (WTC), India will have to win all the matches of this series. There is suspense over Rohit Sharma playing in the Perth Test. In his place, Jasprit Bumrah can be made the captain of Team India for the first Test.
