>He is good, but he needs to move away from crappy Saurashtra if he wants to get a look-in for the Test side well Saurashtra these days have a strong fighting unit. With Pujara, R. Jadeja and Parmar, its a decent side and can give run for the money to the big teams. Just go and check their last years Ranji record and you will be surprised

Son and pupil of former Ranji player Arvind Pujara, Cheteshwar finished as the Under-19 World Cup's highest scorer with 349 runs at an average of 116. He'd already displayed his hunger for big scores with a triple-century against Baroda at Under-14 level, a 211 against England Under-19, and 145 for Saurashtra in just his second first-class match. In the World Cup, his 97 against West Indies and unbeaten 129 against England - an almost faultless one-day innings - took him to the top of the run-charts, past his big-scoring team-mates Gaurav Dhiman and Rohit Sharma. Pujara's gameplan is simple and he plays within his limitations. His technique is classical; upright at the crease and confident through both sides of the field. One of the top run-getters in the 2007-08 Ranji Trophy season, Pujara signed on with the Kolkata Knight Riders, of the lucrative Indian Premier League, in March 2008. In October that year he was picked for the Challenger Trophy and scored 386 in an Under-22 match for Saurashtra. Cricinfo Staff (October 14, 2008) ------------- hmmm-son of a former ranji player,he will get his chance if he is any good.
