Don’t need to silence anyone when I play international cricket: Pujara

It also says something about his ambition that he considered 30s and 40s good scores when he last toured Australia. 

 

They would be good scores for an Ashwin or a Jadeja (funny thing is that Ashwin often outscores most of our batsmen overseas) 

 

Pujara on the other hand should consider anything less than 50 as insufficient. 

Its ok for a certain Ishant Sharma to feel "unlucky" and gets to play 80 odd tests but Pujara who has been in and out of the test team cannot have a bad series. He was saying he got into a good start and couldn't convert it into a big score. I guess Kohli didn't have any ambition when he kept knicking 5th stump and outside deliveries to Anderson in 2014 where he averaged in single digits. Are you in the Kohli-Sharma love train

My issue isn't that he didn't score big in those past series. I am relieved to see him back in the team and performing well. My only comment was that for someone of his abilities, 30-40 runs are not something he should be satisfied with.

What makes you think he was satisfied. His appetite for runs is well known.

2014 was my first tour to Australia. I had started off well. It was at Brisbane where I got a half-century. Overall I was batting well. I was getting out in 30s and 40s. It wasn’t as if I was unable to play here

See above

Someone should have mentioned this to Tendulkar when he was playing

yes... Sachin should have  got the ability to foresee the results too  while he was scoring those knocks.
