Cheteshwar Pujara got here and made a gritty fifty that helped India get a lead; he stood his floor and performed very well, and if we take a look at each innings from the Indian perspective, then it got here from him alone. Virat Kohli comes subsequent, hits a six, however will get out. Then the decrease order collapsed, Shreyas Iyer and one after the opposite, wickets fell quick.

Beforehand, he was somewhat misplaced, he used to hit early along with his bat, however now he takes time as a result of he’s snug in defence and now he dictates his personal stream, and that has modified all the pieces for him as a result of beforehand he couldn’t use to grasp the demand of the state of affairs. However now he has nailed the format and has picked up the nerve of the format.”
