'I believe it's more important to win the game rather than...'- Cheteshwar Pujara opens about his style of play

Cheteshwar Pujara has been dropped from the Indian squad due to his poor form. The Indian selectors did not look happy with Cheteshwar Pujara's performance in the Ranji Trophy. Till now Cheteshwar Pujara has played 103 Test matches for India.

Cheteshwar Pujara's strike rate is of 50 in home condition and 40 in away condition for India. Even though he has scored 673 runs with an average of 74.77 in Ranji Trophy matches. 

While talking about his style of innings building, he said, "I think it’s a perception. My batting is always based on conditions. On pitches in India that are good, I don’t take time to get to the 50s. It's only in England, for example, when the conditions demand that the new ball has to be respected. That’s the traditional way of playing Test cricket," to the Hindustan Times.

Reviling his desire for the game Cheteshwar Pujara recounts his century against strong teams. Even though the conditions were hard Pujara topped his game and made sure his team won.

Cheteshwar Pujara wants to win knock-stage with Saurashtra

“I got a century in that match against Dhawal Kulkarni, Sandeep Sharma, Shams Mulani and Shivam Dube. My club team was weaker against the opposition. So, I wanted to ensure I put my best foot forward and we won the match.” Pujara added.

Since Brendon McCullum has taken the role of coach and Ben Stokes has been given the role of captaincy England has brought the term ‘BazBall’ which means aggressive batting style. As they implement this England has won 14 out of 20 Test matches.

Cheteshwar Pujara has been dropped from the Indian Test team since last year's World Test Champions (WTC) final against Australia. He will be playing against Manipur for Saurashtra in the last group stage match on 16th February. Cheteshwar Pujara's commitment towards the game is beyond his glory. He wants Saurashtra to win the knockout stage. He has the same skills for his state team and Sussex.
