chewy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) He was most comfortable in both Tests against the SA attack than any of Indian batsmen, but his lack of strokeplay and running ability leads to him getting bogged down and eventually every ball becomes magic ball and one gets through Maybe he should just open and see off new ball. No need to make runs or rotate strike. Edited January 17, 2018 by chewy Link to comment
SK_IH Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Lulz at the wall but i ll stick with him ,I ll change the batting order and play him at 5 Link to comment
VT87 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 But but he is best batsman according to this forum. Link to comment
shortbread Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Pujara is an excellent test batsman. I feel he is changing his whole attitude towards batting for the captains liking and thats not fair. Pujara is not Kohli and will never be. But for what he is, he has a very important role in the test team. It's fine that he eats balls and takes his time, let him go about his business. Kohli needs to realize that not every Test match needs to be played at a run rate of 4+. There will be plenty of moments when batsmen have to see of a good spell, kill the new ball, eat time, play for a draw etc.... Pujara being asked to score faster, run quick singles, is not playing to his strengths. It's as good as asking Warner to play slower and longer! Kohli is an artist with the bat, an exemplary talent. But he's not astute or smart, wether its his words or actions. He means no harm but I dont think me really measures the impact his words and actions have. Pujara plays a vital role in Kohli's performance. He can calm the situation before Kohli's arrival at the crease. Plus being the polar opposite, Pujara is the Ying to Kohli's Yang.

zen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 In Tests, runs are not the only measure for success for the top order. If Che is able to blunt the attack, I would take it. Once the attack is blunt and conditions improve, lower order can chip in too Probably playing with folks who come in with a LOI mentality is impacting his game. I also saw Vijay get out unnecessarily trying to cut Maharaj when the situation did not demand that Shunya 1 Link to comment

He gets some signals from Virashtri to play with positive intent and score briskly, while his natural game is more like Shastri himself when he used to play slowly (even in ODIs) to blunt the attack and score on loose balls only. He wanted to show intent by running hard in both the innings. Rahane getting dropped, Bhuvi getting dropped, Vijay-Rahul-Dhawan musical chair, confusing Pujara, Choosing talent over and over again despite umpteen faiilures, Yadav getting axed after a great 2017 are the signs of a difficult confused captain. We need a coach who cuts the big ego of the delhi=boy and give constructive feedback. Not an yesman like nicky shots over there. zen and Shunya 1 1 Link to comment

MechEng Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I remember Kohli probably taking a dig at Pujara after his 520 ball 200 against Australia, if you cannot praise your player when he gives his best how will he do well away? Link to comment
bowl_out Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Will be replaced by Rahane in the next test Link to comment

Make rahane captain or ashwin, pujara story wnt be any different Ashwin outscored pujara in county Its not about attempting others player other format as well, they dnt have time. Link to comment
kira Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Lol @ so many pujara apologists making excuses for this pathetic phateechar player, some idiots are even coming up with kaanspiracy theories to blame kohli for this overrated pathetic player's failures. Face the facts people, pujara is simply no good enough, he's the modern day akash chopra Link to comment
