Hat-trick century in county cricket
Pujara, who has been a leading player in the Indian cricket team, has been playing county cricket in England for the last two years after being dropped from the Indian Test team. Pujara, who is playing in the ‘Sussex County Cricket Club’ team, played brilliantly in the last March and April match. He was regaining his old form. His stylish batting attracted the Englishmen.
Pujara was dismissed for 6 runs in the first innings of the Derbyshire-Sussex match between April 14 and 17. He threatened to hit a double century in the 2nd innings that followed. Also, he scored 201 runs chasing 23 boundaries off 387 balls and remained unbeaten till the end. His brilliant performance helped Sussex to draw.
Similarly, the Worcestershire-Sussex teams clashed in the match which took place from 21st to 23rd April. Pujara, who scored his 2nd century in this match, was dismissed for 109 runs, hitting 16 fours off 206 balls. Also, Pujara, who was threatening to hit a century again, registered his hat-trick century against Durham on April 28.

After raining runs in county cricket, he got the opportunity to play in the Indian Test team in the Test series against England. After county cricket, now Pujara is showing his best performance in ODI series as well. If his action continues, the opportunity for him in the Indian ODI team is not far away.
Gutted we couldn’t see this one through! Brave effort by the team. We gear up for the next one @SussexCCC ???? #SharkAttack pic.twitter.com/CcjnvJiPzt
