Experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has not got a place in the Indian team for the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara has been one of the important players of the Indian team. However, he was dropped from Team India after the final of the World Test Championship 2023.

Cheteshwar Pujara has so far scored 7195 runs for Team India in 103 test matches at an average of 43.60. The performance of this experienced batsman in Australia has always been very good and Cheteshwar Pujara has scored 993 runs in 11 matches at an average above 47. Cheteshwar Pujara has always been dominant in front of Australian bowlers. Australia’s best fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has recently given a big statement regarding Cheteshwar Pujara. Josh Hazlewood is quite happy that Cheteshwar Pujara will not be seen batting in the upcoming Test series.

Josh Hazlewood told the reporter in the press, ‘I am very happy that Cheteshwar Pujara is not here. Cheteshwar Pujara bats for a long time and taking his wicket has always been very difficult. He has batted amazingly in all the tours of Australia. But young players are always coming to Team India and they know that it is very difficult to make their place in Team India. Whoever is selected in the playing XI are all tremendous players. So it does not mean that who has been selected are all the best players.

Our focus is on all the players: Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood further said, ‘Our focus will not just be on Virat Kohli but on all the players of the team. Virat Kohli has always performed very well and has achieved a lot of success in the past and his wicket will be very important. But Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah are also normal players and they also have tremendous talent.

The five-match Test series between Australia and India is starting from 22 November. The first test match between these two teams will be played in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win four matches against Australia.

According to The Times of India, Suresh Raina said, ‘We should see this as an opportunity. If we look at Australian players, they are getting a lot of money and this is not seen with Indian players. He is an excellent captain of Delhi Capitals, a brilliant batsman and a strong wicketkeeper. I feel that there will definitely be a bid of Rs 25 to 30 crores for him. Rishabh Pant is a brand. All franchises will definitely have their eyes on Rishabh Pant: Suresh Raina The former player further said, ‘Rishabh has the ability to win the cup anywhere. He tried in Delhi but nothing happened.

Chennai also has to form a team but they have Rs 55 crore left in their purse. If they spend Rs 25 to 30 crore on one player, they will have to complete the team with at least 18 players.
