On the second day of the recently-concluded Indore Test, when the entire Indian batting lineup surrendered to Nathan Lyon’s excellence, it was Cheteshwar Pujara who stood strong like a wall between India and an embarrassing defeat by the margin of an innings. The veteran Indian Test specialist played a crucial knock of 59 runs off 142 balls with five boundaries and an amazing six to his name.
Apart from this, something else happened during the post-match presentation of the match that was barely expected with the texture of Pujara’s batting approach in the longest format of the game. When all the awards were being given to the players of Australia’s winnings side, Cheteshwar Pujar, out of nowhere, get an award for his stunning six that ended up as the longest six of the entire third Test.
The fans were also shocked and amused in a single fraction of time after getting this news on the account of Pujara; subsequently, they took to Twitter to come up with some hilarious and interesting reactions to this unexpected brilliance and excellence of Pujara.
Here’s how fans reacted:
