Pujara's Wicket Revives Memories Of Tendulkar In 2001

By IANS News February 07, 2021 • 16:19 PM View: 2859

Cheteshwar Pujara's dismissal for 82 off the bowling of Dominic Bess on the third day of the first Test against England here revived memories of Sachin Tendulkar's dismissal in a similar manner during the famous India-Australia series, back in 2000-1.

In the final session on Sunday, Pujara pulled a short delivery from off-spinner Bess but the shot got deflected off the back of the short-leg fielder and popped up to go straight to short mid-wicket where Rory Burns pouched it safely.
