Early Setbacks Made Him Mentally Tough, Says Cheteshwar Pujara's Father
India batsman Cheteshwar Pujara's mental toughness comes from the setbacks he got early in his life and the fact that he understood that only big, long knocks will matter if he has to make an impression from a small centre, says father Arvind Pujara.
The 32-year-old Pujara played a key role in helping India draw the third Test at Sydney and in Australia's defeat in the fourth and final Test at the Gabba, Brisbane. He faced 928 deliveries in all on this tour with 211 of those coming on the fifth day in Brisbane where he was hit on his body and head multiple times. Often he was seen grimacing in pain.
