On a day when the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, on the outskirts of Rajkot, was named after SCA’s renowned cricket administrator Niranjan Shah, another famous son of the city Cheteshwar Pujara was away from the limelight.
The latter was an integral part of the Indian Test team for over a decade, but with advancing age he finds himself overlooked by the selectors and team management, who have made up their mind to look beyond Pujara and are planning to groom Sarfaraz Khan to take over the responsibility of the Indian batting.
