Pujara, who lost his place in the Indian Test team, has been playing immensely for Sussex in county cricket and knocking on the door of the Indian Test team.

Pujara was the star of the Indian Test team and an important pillar of the team in Test cricket. Pujara has scored 6713 runs in 95 Tests for India.
Pujara, who has won many Tests for India, has not scored a single century in the last two years. In this situation, Pujara and Rahane were the two senior players in the Indian squad for the first Test series against Sri Lanka, which took place after Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy.
Since then Rahane has now featured in the KKR squad in the IPL. But Pujara has been playing county cricket in England as IPL teams have not bid for him.
Realizing that playing better in the county is the only way to regain the place he lost in the Indian Test team, he has been playing heavily for Sussex in county cricket and scoring hundreds. Pujara, who had already scored a double century against Derbyshire, has now scored another double century in the match against Durham.
Pujara scored 203 against Durham. Sussex scored 538 in the first innings with his superb batting. Pujara, who has scored double centuries in county cricket, is knocking hard on the door to rejoin the Indian Test team. Pujara cannot afford to miss out on his place in the Indian squad for the forthcoming Test series against England.
