Congratulations Pujara -- Double century and joint Fastest Indian to get to 1000 runs in Tests

[carnish]

After SA white wash us..BCCI will prepone the tour for "revenge" and get pwned at home.

India do not have breaks in their schedule to plan an unscheduled test series. So not happening. Only thing BCCI can plan is petty ODI series with Sri Lanka.

[tweaker]

Pujara is certainlly the most consistent performer in recent times.i hope he performs well overseas and against better attack

[yoda]

He is the real deal. Very impressed with the way he mixes up defense and scores.

[I6MTW]

Pujara already has 75 average. If he continues batting like this he will average 100.

Innings played is a much better than matches played when sorting these type of records. Anyways, a brilliant start for Pujara to his career. He's one of those bastmen that doesn't give away his wicket, the bowler has to earn it. Plus has the drive to play long innnings as well. He just has to keep himself fit.

[SLICKR392]

Brilliant double. He will remember that innings for a long time and so will we, the fans. Sunny's Sachin obsession can be irritating sometimes. When Pujara got his double, his reaction was "and look who is on the other side - Sachin Tendulkar".

+1. Thought the same.

Cheteshwar Pujara inspires confidence in indian fans that he will do well on overseas conditions because of his record. He was the highest scorer in the tri-series between India A, West Indies A, and English Lions in England. I am not saying he will get double centuries abroad like he does in India, but he can be a clinching factor between whether we get whitewashed or ensure draws like in the past. Also, Kohli will play a big factor in helping stabilize the innings in the event of a top-order collapse

Has shown good start. Now I am really awaiting how does he do outside sub-continent.Till now he has played 3 innings outside SC. Didn't get much of a chance. But had impressed in Durban when he played out some 50-60 balls on a difficult wicket.

+1 But so far so good. :hatsoff:

There was a bit of pressure on me. I just got married, and my wife was worried I should perform.
