coffee_rules Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Both Rahul and Pujara were crucial. Without 90 , Ind was looking at 100ish total like pune.
Mosher Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Lets not forget Rahane too. I thought he would fail again but top innings under pressure. schumibest and Sidhoni 2
PBN Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Pujara is a great batsman and so is Rahane. Rate both of them quite highly in Tests. Rahul is also developing quite well as a player.

Forever Indian Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Gollum said: Pujara was terribly mishandled by the team management under 'Dhoni the Terrible' plus his dodgy knee. The way he started out I genuinely thought he was going to end up as an ATG. Recently watched the highlights of the 2012 England series and must say no current Indian batsman has the ability to do what he did back then. Hope he continues his stellar show and corrects his records in England and Australia. In Asian pitches he is top 5 in the world. Dhoni mishandling some pacers is agreed. How did he mishandle Pujara? He never dropped him nor shifted him from his position and gave him a good run in team, it's just that Pujara did not do well in Eng, Aus, NZ. Infact likes of Pujara and Rahane were mishandled by Kohli by dropping them and shifting them out of positions to accommodate likes of Rohit. Kohli then understood his mistakes, and Rohit getting injured at the right time also helped. Shunya, schumibest, Ultimate_Game and 1 other 4

In fact Dhoni even promoted him ahead of Dravid in his debut and stuck with him despite his poor returns in debut series or even overseas.
chewy Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Came into Indian fold late, should have debuted in 2011 tour to england he was already scoring bucket load of runs in domestics and India A tours

speedheat Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Yes he stood up for us we needed someone and he did this was his best innings of his even if it wasn't a hundred because it came at the crucial stage under difficult situations
veer Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Pujara is a solid batsman.. but ugly to watch to be honest.
sensible-indian Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 As good as this was, it wasn't Pujara's best innings though. The best was 82* chasing 150 in Delhi rank turner 2013. God of God knocks. Laaloo 1
maniac Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Top class...2 of the best innings played by an Indian batsman in recent times is by chepu after his heroics in Srilanka. Laaloo 1
