Cheteshwar Pujara breaks silence

Cheteshwar Pujara recently broke his silence following his exclusion from India’s squad for the upcoming Test series against Australia. The seasoned batter shared a cryptic message on social media, posting a short clip of himself training with the caption, “Sore today, strong tomorrow.” This post reflects his determination to stay fit and motivated despite the setback.

Pujara’s omission from the squad has been a topic of discussion, especially considering his significant contributions in previous series against Australia. Despite his impressive record, including being named Player of the Series during India’s historic 2018/19 tour Down Under, he was not included in the 18-member squad announced by the BCCI.

In the past, Pujara has openly expressed his frustrations about being dropped from the national team. He admitted that such decisions left him with self-doubt and a bruised ego, even after having played over 100 Test matches. He emphasized the challenge of proving oneself repeatedly, despite a strong track record.

Currently, Pujara is focusing on his fitness and preparation for future opportunities. He has been actively participating in domestic cricket, playing for Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy and for Sussex in the English County Championship. His commitment to maintaining peak physical condition and his consistent performances in domestic cricket underscore his readiness to make a comeback when the opportunity arises.

As Pujara continues to train and perform at the domestic level, fans and selectors alike will be watching closely to see if he can reclaim his spot in the Indian Test team in the future.
