About Cheteshwar Pujara
Cheteshwar Pujara was the rock of India’s Test batting for more than a decade. Born in Rajkot, Gujarat in 1988 and coached from childhood by his father, a former first-class cricketer, he became known for extraordinary patience, concentration and courage, qualities that made him the backbone of India’s most famous overseas wins. He played over 100 Tests for India before retiring.
Career highlights
Pujara made his first-class debut for Saurashtra in 2005 and his Test debut in Bengaluru in 2010. After a century on his return against New Zealand in 2012, he scored double hundreds against England and Australia within months, both in Indian victories, and established himself at number three after the era of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
His defining contributions came in Australia. In 2018–19 he scored three centuries as India won a Test series in Australia for the first time, and he was named Player of the Series. In 2020–21 he again absorbed blow after blow from Australia’s fast bowlers as India retained the Border–Gavaskar Trophy. He also played county cricket for Sussex and was part of the Chennai Super Kings squad that won the 2021 IPL.
