Jambavan Sunil Gavaskar has commented that playing Pujara is like Hashim Amla.
The Indian team, which is playing in South Africa, won the first Test. The second Test match was lost. The Indian team has never won at Centurion Stadium. But for the first time recorded success in this series. Similarly, the Indian team has not lost at Johannesburg since 1992. Modified it and for the first time the South African team has won. The series is tied at 1-1 with both teams winning one match each.
Pujara, who has been a consistent performer for the Indian team, played very well in the second innings of the second innings and crossed the 50-ball low. He was dismissed for 53 runs. He has averaged just 28.00 in 26 innings played in 2021.
Criticisms have been leveled that he should be suspended from the Indian team and given a chance to replace another player. He is back to form after playing well in the second inning. Meanwhile, legend Sunil Gavaskar compares Pujara’s playing to that of South Africa’s Hashim Amla.
“The Siddeshwar Pujara game is like the one played by former South African Hashim Amla. Very relaxed, he keeps the environment under his control and bats. Amla predicts exactly which side the ball will hit and how to hit it and will play accordingly. He will be sober as if nothing will happen even if he hits it to the fours. When you watch Pujara play, it’s like watching Amla play. ” As compared.
The 3rd Test between India and South Africa starts on the 11th at Cape Town.
