IND V AUS: 72 On Debut Was One Of Most Important Knocks In My Cricketing Career, Says Pujara

By IANS News February 16, 2023 • 14:19 PM View: 465

Pujara had made his Test debut co-incidentally in the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy match against Australia at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in October 2010, making 72 in a successful chase of 207 and was promoted ahead of Rahul Dravid, now the head coach of the Indian team.

In that game, he was trapped lbw for four by Mitchell Johnson in the first innings. But in the second innings, Pujara left everyone delighted with his crisp shots against Johnson, Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter George and Nathan Hauritz on his way to making 72 on a day five pitch, hitting seven fours, while taking 19 ones, ten twos, and playing 52 dot balls.
