Cheteshwar Pujara roars back to form –

It was a sight that many Indian Cricket fans had waited for. Cheteshwar Pujara slammed his way to a double century during the Indian Domestic season game against Jharkhand on Sunday. The veteran batter is looking to make his comeback to the Indian side after being dropped.

The last time Pujara played for India was during the World Test Championships final versus Australia. The right-handed batter wasn’t picked for the West Indies and South African tours. The moment came when Pujara tucked Shahbaz Nadeem for a quick single. There was a massive applause as skipper Jaydev Unadkat and the rest of the Saurashtra team seemed happy.

Pujara has played 27 Test versus England scoring 1774 runs with an average of 39.5. In fact his Test best score of 206 not out came against England during the 2012-13 series. Indian selectors have a huge task on their hands as they sit down to pick the team for the first two Tests.

Meanwhile, the selectors are set to announce the Indian side for the Afghanistan T20I series. Rohit Sharma is set to be back as the skipper of the side with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj like to be rested. There are questions if Virat Kohli too will be back in the side for the Afghanistan series.

Team India are in the same group as Pakistan along with Ireland, and Canada and hosts the USA. The marquee clash for the 2024 T20I World Cup is set to take place on June 9^th in New York.
