  1. Cheteshwar Pujara opens up on his playing in IPL Cheteshwar Pujara is one of the best batsmen in the world in the longer format of the game but he has not had great success in the T20 format so far. However, he will soon return to the IPL this year and will be seen playing for the Chennai Super Kings under the leadership of MS Dhoni. In an interview with Cricinfo, he talks about not being picked for years in the auctions for the cash-rich league and the perception of people having about him that he can play only Test cricket as well. Notably, Pujara went unsold in every auction since 2015. He said that he was not sure of being selected in 2021 edition either but he was confident that if he got a chance he could do well even in the shortest format too.

  2. “It’s like every other year where I feel that I just want to put my name. And when I get an opportunity, I will be up for it. Deep down I know that I can do it. It’s still a game of cricket where you have a lot of strengths. When you are playing Test cricket, you know a lot about the game: the technical aspect, the thought process, the amount of time you have to put in to be successful in that ultimate form of the game. When your thought process or your environment is about cricket, then it is just about adapting to the format,” he said. Pujara was bought by CSK in the mini-auction a couple of months ago prior to the season and the best Test batsman for India was grateful to the franchise as well. “AbsolutelyI’m really pleased that what I’ve done for the Indian team is noticed and I got results for that. I was told when I was picked, all the franchises clapped in the auction room. I feel that when you are doing something for the Indian team, people love it; they know the value I bring in. Not just the franchises, almost all my team-mates were really happy for me. Last few years I’m the only one who has been missing out on playing in the IPL from the Indian team,” he shared.
