Cheteshwar Pujara in WTC Final, for reference:

 

1st inning : 8(54) SR 14

2nd inning : 15(80) SR 18

 

Disclaimer:- I am no Kohli fan so if you feel like I am bashing Pujara because he got compared with Kohli in this thread then feel free to bash Kohli also 

Those are selected performances in typically difficult conditions for Indian batsmen (Ppl know that he bats slowly. That’s the role he plays). 

Ppl have seen him win two test series in Aus against world class pace bowling attacks. Score 100s in Eng and SA. 

Anyways continue if it makes you feel good

Kohli is crap anyway. For all his chasing skill and aggresive bravado,  hasnt produced single such performance in 4th innings which England batsmen are doing now a days depsite Indian bowlers did well to get a target of sub-200-220 many times overseas.. Feasted on Flat tracks of Australia 2014 and brainlessly clashed with Aussie players. Only good series was England 2018. Otherwise it is all talk no substance. Pujara is another limited batsman. But He had massive part in Australia series win..But overall Kohli will end up with better stats. Pujara will be ousted by next year,Kohli for all his meaningless centuries will get to play 3-4 years more.

Should have been kicked out when Kahane was kicked out both.  KL Rahul is even more painful. Scores a 100 then 3 or 4 single digits. Again a 100, 50 then another series of low scores.

KLR will play atleast 5-6 more years. Will captain the side eventually after Rohit for 4-5 years and guide us to more shameful losses overseas.

This test match is not over yet. I am totally prepared to have shock of our life lol I saw his captaincy and how he allowed Mehdi Hasan batting at 8 making a 100.

Bangladesh is batting in 4th innings. Their win is less likely against bowling attack of Ashwin-Kuldeep-Axar-Siraj-Yadav.

He owes a lot to Pant who completely broke the game open and made them change the bowling.

Better than Kohli in tests!

R u kidding?

Pujara is a stroke less wonder , kind of a replacement to Dravid.  During dravid's times , Dravid kind of a batsman was always required. 

But today , a Pujara kind of a batsman is required on fastish australian OR swing friendly english wickets .

with t20 improving the skills of batsman, even in tests , a batsman has to score @ 70 runs off 100 balls, slower than that kind of innings helps the opponent team to draw the match. A draw means No team wins. slower innings lead the team to draws.

 

[Vijy]

they are both very good players, but overhyped by their fans

 

kohli at his peak was doing well in most conditions - SA in SA, Eng in Eng, Aus in Aus, and at home

Chepu has always been great in Asia and has 2 memorable tours of Oz + 1 good tour of SA

What the * are you gonna do with a S/R of 70 if you can't win series with it? For all his huffing & puffing do you have any games you remember where Brat led us chasing to a win, especially away? And don't bring that BS of he's a great player because he did so well in so & so series, when he fails he has the most spectacular "fails" as well - 2012 Eng, 2014 Eng, 2017 Oz, 2019/20 NZ & there's probably one or two more I missed. The one area where Pujara definitely lags behind him is scoring tons on flat roads, but that's a non issue now because Brat can't even bat on those
