India star chosen by Wasim Jaffer as Cheteshwar Pujara's perfect replacement

Veteran Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara made a significant accomplishment in a game where run-machine Virat Kohli made history by becoming the fastest player to reach 25,000 international runs. Pujara made his 100th appearance for Team India in a Test, the longest format, marking a significant milestone. Premier hitter Pujara joined players like Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid, and Anil Kumble as the 13th Indian cricketer to appear in 100 Test matches.

In the second Test of the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia in Delhi, Pujara accomplished the unique achievement. Pujara has served as India's No. 3 hitter in Test cricket for a number of years and is renowned for his batting prowess in the longest and oldest version of the game. The senior batsman, who recently turned 35, is one of the few hitters who is essential to the Indian Test team.
