To some cricket lovers, Cheteshwar Pujara’s strike rate has become as important as the number of runs he scores. This, despite the fact that he has bailed out the Indian team on numerous occasions. Pujara faced 928 balls to score 271 runs that included three half-centuries during India’s recent triumph in Australia. His strike rate of 29.20 was again threatening to become the talking point but the series went India’s way.
While Pujara has no qualms about his batting style, the Saurashtra stalwart has a simple way of dealing with this issue. “I try and avoid the outside noise. I don’t look at social media when I’m playing a Test series. I completely avoid it...what are the views on my batting or the Indian team. I try and stay away from it as well as any article or news which are positive or negative.
