Let Pujara play the way he can

[asterix]

What is this blaming every damn dismissal of idiot Pujara on Kohli?

Pujara has proven that he’s not fit to play a Test Cricket on tour...

Best to ti look for a young player to replace him. He won’t do any worse than Pujara...

[Laaloo]

2 balls before lunch. That shot is on pujara not on Kohli or anyone else. Sorry. An average of 19 across 7.5 tests is not good enough 

[express bowling]

We need to stop blaming other people for the performances of experienced players.

 

This talk of intent did not deter Pujara from scoring heavily in Asia.   

 

His failure in county cricket ( averaging 14 from 8 FC games )  had nothing to do with the Indian team management requiring intent from him.

Extremely disappointed in this phoney.What a colossal let down he has been.His innings @ Bangalore 2010 actually fooled me into thinking he is actually a quality bat coming out of Saurashtra pancakes.

Now,it's been close to a decade and he is still trying to make a name for himself as a complete batsman.But he is actually so lethal in sub continent,I am loathe to the thought of dropping him completely.

Its a difficult conundrum is this FTB

I would bat Pujara at 5 in tests in SENA 

[Gollum]

How many more excuses?

Yeah drop him if you can get a batsman who can play innings like he played against Aus to save us from embarrassment but if you play him let him play the way he wants. 

[Lala]

Let him stick to home games only.

He had no IPL exposure, he had a lot of county practices. He played a tour game.  Even in county, he was the butt of everyone's joke.

[rtmohanlal]

the batsman who played the most no: of practice matches in the form of county games  before the tests started, yet getting emphatically proven as the disaster batsman that he actually is. Now that Kuldeep who is a useful batsman at home too can play in India,

this hack needs to be dropped at the earliest.

I hope the "intent" gang is silenced.

Excellent knock from Pujara.

Pujara has turned out his batting form away from Asia.

 

There were genuine questions on his batting failures outside Asia. Look at these stats From 2014 to the start of the England tour, he had 16 tests, 28 innings, 645 runs@23 with 3 50s. Totalled 100 runs in 6 innings in SA earlier this year. Those stats cannot be ignored.

 

Great on him to have continued to work hard and completely banish that form first in England and now here. Hope he can continue playing like this.

That was a genuine worry. However that included his first Aus NZ and England tours. 

His match winning performances at home should have secured his place.

My issue with Kohli Shastri and management was that they were openly criticising his approach and even dropped him from Eng 1st test. 

When your team is getting bundled in 50 overs the s/r is the last thing to worry about.

That is correct. They do get swayed by what is being said in the media and by the experts. Pujara has responded in the best way he can.

Career saving knock for Pujara. As you can see from the comments above, everyone was going for his head. To be honest, he did struggle a lot earlier. But this knock was gold and India neueded. Rhis.  Hopefully he can carry on from

here theough out the aeries and also knspire Rahane to score some and Rahul. 

[mishra]

LOL. Never doubted his test credentials. Hope icfers can make out difference between tests and limited over cricket.
