Cheteshwar Pujara’s entry into the team before the start of Perth Test, Australian bowlers lost sleep

Cheteshwar Pujara: The first match of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 between India and Australia is to be played in Perth from Friday. The Indian squad for the Australia tour has been announced a long time ago, in which the name of veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara was not included. But now before the start of the first test, Pujji has been given entry in the team, knowing which everyone is surprised.

No place given in Indian squad

India has defeated Australia in the last 4 Test series consecutively. Out of this, Team India defeated the Kangaroos twice by entering the house, in which veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara made a big contribution. The right-handed batsman has scored 993 runs at an average of 47.28 in 11 Test matches played on Australian soil. This also includes 3 centuries and 5 half-centuries. In such a situation, when he was not given a place in Team India for the Australia tour, the bowlers of the Kangaroo team looked very happy.

Cheteshwar Pujara is back

After not getting a place in Team India, Cheteshwar Pujara has been given special responsibility for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. This time instead of the bat, he will be seen holding a mike in his hand. Actually, Star Sports has included Pujara in its Hindi commentary team. Apart from Pujji, it includes Ravi Shastri, Wasim Akram, Sunil Gavaskar, Sanjay Manjrekar, Jatin Sapru and Deep Dasgupta.

it is difficult to return

The return of 36-year-old Cheteshwar Pujara to Team India seems very difficult. He used to play at number 3. But now Shubhman Gill has established himself on this position. Even after his injury before the Perth Test, the selectors did not consider Pujara’s option. Devdutt Padikkal has been included in the squad in his place.
