Say sorry to Cheteshwar

[sarcastic]

I see that there are lot of negative posts on Che Pujara and I am tempted to start this thread inspired by thread.

We all know how Pujara was hyped as the next Dravid in his debut year after his recent heroics for Saurashtra and performance in the 4th innings chase vs Aus in 2010. Later on, he has indeed failed to capitalize/adjust in overseas conditions for the last many years except for the occasional blips such as Wanderers 2013. 

 

But, I think Che Pujara has answered all his critics in style by this match saving (or potentially match winning) performance today. Not to say his key role in the last test victory, Chesteshwar is proving what is made up of and how wrong all the detractors were in assessing him when he was playing those ultra slow innings.

 

It is time his detractors apologize to Cheteshwar Pujara and recognize his irreplaceable position in the echelons on Indian test batting greats.

Not just negative posts but downright insults against him. 

 

As if he was a useless bat. 

 

The reason we got to number one was because of him. Not our other fancy bats. He scored the tough runs on tough pitches in Asia while others chipped in at times or stat boosted. 

 

He has played a crucial knock in almost every single Indian win since his debut.

 

Home or away.

Turned it around in Eng. If you take Kohli out, Pujara is the highest runs scorer from both sides .... As the phrase goes "time to eat the ...."

"Blocking balls" and "Leaking runs" brigade should leave test cricket alone

[Straight Drive]

Drop him. Such a useless low  SR innings.

Sorry

 

I called him out on several occasions. Today he proved us wrong. Masterclass batting by pujara especially with the tail. Showed aggression when needed. Didn't look in trouble in any balls.

[Switchblade]

Brilliant innings by him today apologies for criticising him.

[Adi BB]

Not agressive enough knock for the liking of kohli shastri 

[Brainfade]

Well, at that time if we had known that he would pull this off, no one would have criticized him. 

 

No apologies because it was obvious he was struggling and was on the verge of being dropped, but celebrations and gratitude for his heroic knock today!  Way to go, Pujara.

Great innings but will not offer any apologies...

This pitch is behaving Indian pitch like... and he’s a beast on Indian pitches...

Oh come on now. Stop it. He has played wonderfully. 

[rkt.india]

Always believed in Pujara.

[Ankit_sharma03]

kyun say sorry, he struggled n ppl questioned .....what wrong in that 

[Number]

Public lashing for Pak PM's bumboy who thinks Rohit should bat at no. 3 instead of Pujara. Coz he can't see any talent in Pujara.

[Jimmy Cliff]

Ishant at 3 would have done the same tbh.

[rtmohanlal]

brilliant brilliant from Pujara today , especially the way he build partnerships for the last 2 wkts and took the lead.But he is such an expert on spin friendly conditions and he naturally played his part. Having said that he still is not an assured  option  for a top 6. His primary kid level running which hurt the team cause a lot and his  still over all mediocre record in SENA  can't be concealed by today's  knock alone and hence deserved all the criticism that came his way.

[beetle]

Well played pujara.

You were great today.
