Chennai: Getting out while batting well is something that any batsman hates. What if this expulsion is unfortunate?
Cheteshwar Pujara was ruled out of the third day of the Chennai Test against England in such an unfortunate manner.
On the third day, Pujara and Rishabh brought India back into the match. The player was trying to get short off the ball of Dominic Bess. Unfortunately, Pujara’s ball bounced off Oli Pope’s short leg and landed in Rory Burns’ hands.
The stadium also witnessed Pujara, who was generally calm, losing control. Pujara returned to the dressing room angrily after hitting the bat pad. The actor later reacted to the dismissal as follows; “It was something I could not do as a batsman. What to say but misfortune. Because that’s the only way I could get out. I was batting well and my shots were playing well. Everything was perfect, including watching the ball. But as a batsman I could not do anything about it. There were no technical glitches. “
Pujara hit 73 off 143 balls, including 11 fours.
