India vs Bangladesh Live: Sarfaraz Khan Should Now Wait For Another 4 Years Cheteshwar Pujara To Stay In Test Team

India vs Bangladesh Live: Sarfaraz Khan Should Now Wait For Another 4 Years Cheteshwar Pujara To Stay In Test Team. Cheteshwar Pujara was lauded by former India batter Wasim Jaffer, who claimed that he has regained his mojo and is not going anywhere.

Thanks to hundreds from Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill as well as an eight-wicket haul from Kuldeep Yadav, India overcame Bangladesh by a huge margin of 188 runs in the opening of the two-match Test series in Chattogram.

The visitors outplayed the Bangla Tigers the entire game, and youngster Gill got his first Test century in the second innings. Pujara ended a century-long dry spell and became the first player to reach three figures in 52 innings.

Earlier, after winning the toss, captain KL Rahul decided to bat first. Pujara scored 90 runs and Shreyas Iyer added 86 in the first inning, both of which were contributions.

As the tourists put 404 on the board, R Ashwin joined in the fun and hit 58. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam, two home team spinners, each claimed four victims. Despite Kuldeep’s five-wicket haul (5/40) and Mohammed Siraj’s three wickets, Shakib’s squad only scored 150 runs in their first innings before being dismissed.

When Pujara and Gill each got their individual hundreds, they put a lot of pressure on the Bangladeshi bowlers. While veteran player Pujara scored his century in the fastest time of his career—130 deliveries—on the Whites, Gill reached his milestone for the first time there. India declared their second innings at 258/2, giving the hosts the ambitious objective of 513.

In the opening match of the series, India trounced Bangladesh with 324 runs, with Axar and Kuldeep each scoring four. Today, India is up 1-0 in the series. Kuldeep scored 8/113 to earn Player of the Match honors.

“Cheteshwar Pujara batted really sensibly and hard”: Wasim Jaffer

“He was not going anywhere despite having a century for the last 3-4 years, but I believe he can consistently put up excellent numbers. There were the 60s and 90s, as well as knocks where he batted really sensibly and hard,” Wasim Jaffer remarked on EspnCricinfo.

“The Brisbane test took strikes to his body, so his name does not have a three-figure mark, although I believe he played some knocks between them. I am thrilled for him; he worked hard and played county cricket, where he excelled. and now that ‘Pujara has regained his mojo, he is not going anywhere,” Wasim Jaffer Added.

India defeated Bangladesh by 188 runs thanks to Kuldeep Yadav’s eight wickets, including a five-for in the first innings, and Cheteshwar Pujara’s 90 and 102 not out.
