Pujara is the senior and star player of the Indian Test team. Pujara has scored 6792 runs in 96 Test matches for India.
Pujara has filled the place of great legend Rahul Dravid in the Indian Test team. Not only India, but also Australia, England, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka and New Zealand, Pujara is the pillar of India in test cricket and has been the reason for many victories of the Indian team.

Pujara has played only 4 ODIs for India despite being the leading player of the Indian Test team.
Pujara is usually a very slow bowler. Tackle is his natural batting style as he plays a lot of Test cricket. Apart from that he is naturally very slow bowler. That is why he never played much in white ball cricket for the Indian team. So no team is interested in him in IPL as well.
But Pujara, who lost his place in the Indian Test team due to not playing well in the last 2 years, got a place in the Indian Test team again after scoring tremendous batting centuries in county cricket in England.
In this case, Pujara, who is playing for the Sussex team in the Royal London One Day Cup series, which is the ongoing domestic one-day cricket series in England, has scored 2 centuries in a row.

Today the match was between Sussex and Surrey. Pujara and Tom Clarke scored centuries for Sussex, who batted first in the match. Tom scored only 104 runs off 106 balls. But Pujara, who scored a hundred in action, scored 174 runs in 131 balls with 20 fours and 5 sixes. Pujara played such an impressive innings that the onlookers wondered if it was Pujara himself.
Pujara’s century led the Sussex team to amass 378 runs in 50 overs and bowled out the Surrey team for 162 runs to win by 216 runs.
