ആരും നമിച്ചുപോകും; Pujara reveals injury in Australia

Chennai: Cheteshwar Pujara says he batted in Sydney and Brisbane with an injured hand during the tour of Australia. The finger was injured during training in Melbourne. He has struggled to hold the bat properly in the last two Tests. It was played with pain. In Brisbane, the ball was in his hand again. With this comes more pain. Pujara said he had to bat with four fingers.

On the last day of the Gabba, it was ensured that the wicket would not be lost in the first session. Shubhman Gill also provided good support. He added that although the ball was carried in the body several times, the conviction that the wicket was valuable motivated the fight.

Excitement Pujara’s resistance (56 off 211 balls) was impressive in the long Gabba Test to the final session of the final day. The innings was defended by a series of bouncer attacks by Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. In the meanwhile, several priests were brought to the temple. Pat Cummins returned to the LB with an individual score of 56. India won the series 2-1 with a three – wicket win over Gabba.

Why did the strike rate go down?

Cheteshwar Pujara has been criticized for being slow during his tour of Australia this time. This time, Pujara scored 271 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 29.20. Though not like a single century, the player was an active presence in the Indian victory with crucial defensive measures. Earlier in the 2018-19 tour, Pujara had scored 521 runs in seven innings at 41.41 strikeouts, including three centuries.

‘I wanted to play more first-class matches before returning to Australia. But only one could play. In that, the satisfactory performance could not be brought out. Most of the time I was in net practice. Pujara’s response was that the inability to play more matches during Kovid’s tenure was a barrier to raising the strike rate.
