\u201cI was a little nervous ringing the bell this morning because everyone is looking at you and you don't want to mess up,\u201d said Pujara on BBC Test Match Special.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The ringing of the bell by cricketing legends outside the bowlers\u2019 bar at the Lord\u2019s is a tradition that started in 2007 and has been previously carried out by legendary Indian players like Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The third Test of the five-match Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy series is perfectly poised for a thriller. After England posted 387 all out, on the back of Joe Root\u2019s century, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are carrying India\u2019s hopes on Day 3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pujara stated the importance of the ongoing morning session and how it will shape the game for the remaining two days as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis session will determine how the game will progress. If England can pick up wickets, then they will be ahead in the game. If India doesn't lose wickets and go into lunch with more runs on the board, then they will be in charge,\u201d Pujara explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cYou are in the moment, you do feel the pain, but when you are out there in the middle, you do want to do something for your country. Even if there is any pain, you try to focus on batting and mentally prepare yourself that you will get hit on your body. If you focus on the pain, you can't focus on what you have to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
