Certainly this is the end of Pujara…

[asterix]

I really hope so…

[Gambit]

Pujara's problem is that he's carrying excessive weight by bringing a bat to the crease. That's weighing his style of play down.

[Austin 3:!6]

Had Kohli scored some runs here that would have been surely end of Pujara. But since Kaptaan himself gone for a duck, not many will blame Pujara now.

So what do you suggest he do?

Drop both his bat and himself.

Considering he is our best batsman since 90s we have to give him few more series to prove himself. He is just 33 atm & can go on to play for 5+ more years if he finds his form. Btw only SDP can replace him when he hangs his boots.

Tailenders have better technique and confidence than Pujara. Look at how he got out today. Embarrassing

Mujra bhi nahi karney diey isko. But mujra waley hi pose me out hua.

We used to play hand cricket indoors with a lubber ball. Maybe theres a league for it somewhere.

Mock him all you want. That's fine. I want to know how he declined so badly? Is it the damage he endured vs Cummins and hazelwood that has caused him to be so slow at moving g his feet ? What's the issue. How has someone declined so rapidly in a space of few months? 

I believe he is older than his stated age. His prime ended 2 years back. He is probably 36 in reality. 

Same with kohli.

In sports the fall-off can be dramatic once you hit the 30s. Many a footballer has looked good one season and then decline visibly the following year.

 

Pujara looks done both physically and mentally. It is what it is. Time to simply move on.

Honestly the damage he endured vs hazelaood has probably taken its toll. He is finished. Took too much damage. Life altering damage in that match. 

[putrevus]

Unlike Kohli who still is fit, Pujara looks like an old man.Only able to field in slips.He does not do much away from home anyways. Nothing wrong in looking past him.

[Lord]

so called best player of spin. Even Lyon made him dance in Oz

[nevada]

Sad to see him struggle like this. The signs were clear in the home series against England itself. If he is really determined, he should play county cricket(if some county is willing to hire him), rediscover his batting form and try for a come back. But that just sounds theoretical, as he seems to be done and just trying to cash in as long as he is allowed to.

[cricketfan28]

he still has 3 chances and need to make atleast a 50 to stay in the team, same will apply for kohli.

Maybe he means that Pujara will be taking a leaf out of Pandya's book & will be declaring himself fit to bowl, that makes it 3 innings to contribute.

[RedFever]

 

Pujara's dismissal was the worst of the lot. What kind of shot is this from a no 3 batsman.

 

Not able to get to the pitch of the ball, no confidence to play of the backfoot.
