About this episode
In this episode Richa, Aditya and MV are joined by Sarthak Dev to discuss the career of Cheteshwar Pujara. We dive into our earliest memories of Cheteshwar Pujara, tracing his evolution as a batter and how he cemented his place at No. 3. Along the way, we relive some of his finest and most underrated innings, admire his mastery against spin, and explore the unique challenges faced by modern Test batters in the era of the WTC, tricky pitches, and the pace bowling pandemic. Pujara's career, like many in the middle order, feels incomplete. We end by asking: Will we ever see another one like him in Tests? And, of course, we close with our personal favourite Pujara innings. Sarthak wrote a fantastic piece on Pujara, which can be read here.
