Cheteshwar Pujara helped India win a Test series in Sri Lanka after a gap of 22 years.
India did make a good comeback after being bundled out for just 78 in the first innings, but it was never going to be enough.
Cheteshwar Pujara played a superb knock of 91 but he could not prevent India losing the Leeds Test against England.
Cheteshwar Pujara had a point to prove in the third Test, and he rose brilliantly to the challenge scoring a brilliant 91.
Pujara carried the team until the end of the day and played with exceptional patience and composure against the aggressive pace attack.
James Anderson finished the innings with three massive wickets to his name. Craig Overton and Sam Curran also got on the act, demolishing the lower order.
The spotlight will also be on Kohli, as fans will expect him to score some big runs since his last international century was way back in November 2019.
India might be leading the ongoing Test series but the performances of Rahane and Pujara have drawn a lot of criticism.
VVS Laxman opined that no other batsman than home side's skipper Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow could show character against the Indian attack.
After losing early wickets on Day 4, Pujara and Rahane’s 100-run partnership gave India hope, but England dismissed them both to take control of the second Test.
