Team India’s senior Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara will stay in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Pujara, who has been dropped from the Test team for a long time, will be seen in a different role in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this time. This time Pujara will be seen in the commentary box not with the bat but with the mike. Pujara is at number four in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. When India captured two consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophies in Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21, Pujara played a very important role in it. 36-year-old Pujara has played 103 Test matches for India and during this he has scored a total of 7195 runs at an average of 43.60. Pujara has not played any Test match for India since the final match of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23. Since then, he has been continuously out of the team and now his comeback in Test is looking very difficult. In such a situation, now he has got a new role for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series. Cheteshwar Pujara will be seen doing commentary in Hindi. This time Pujara is going to be seen doing Hindi commentary in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik has returned to international cricket after doing commentary, now it will be interesting to see whether something similar happens with Cheteshwar Pujara or not? If we look at Pujara’s statistics in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, between 2010 and 2023, he has scored 2033 runs in 43 innings of 24 matches at an average of 50.82. There are only four Indian batsmen in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy who have scored more than 2000 runs and apart from Pujara, the names of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid are in this list.
