Cheteshwar Pujara (Image source- Twitter)
Veteran Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara is known for his exploits with the bat, but seldom does he bowl. Playing for Sussex in the County Cricket Championship, the Indian cricketer was seen getting his hands on the ball. The video of him bowling has done rounds on the internet.
In the video posted by Sussex County Cricket Club on their Twitter handle, Pujara was seen bowling. The 34-year-old bowled leg spin and also bowled a googly to try and deceive the batter. His deliveries had some flight to them, which allowed the batters to hit some drives in the only over he bowled in the match. In his over, he conceded eight runs. "An over of @cheteshwar1 bowling," read the caption of the video.
On a solid batting track, he didn't have much of an effect with the bat in the first innings. He scored 46 runs in 76 balls.
