Rohit Sharma recently reached the launch of the book written by Cheteshwar Pujara’s wife Pooja. During this, he narrated an interesting anecdote of his junior cricket days. During this time, Rohit named the batsman who used to field Rohit and his team for three days.

Rohit told that, “The only thing in the team meeting used to be that how to dismiss that player and if we are unable to dismiss, we can lose the match.” The player who is talking about Rohit is none other than Pujara.

Rohit’s condition worsened by playing against Pujara. The color of his face used to change. Due to which his mother also got upset. Rohit told that, “I just remember that when I was 14 years old and when I came back from the field in the evening, my face color would change completely.”

Because he (Pujara) used to bat all day and we had to field in the sun for two-three days. I still remember that my mother asked me many times when you go to play from home, you look different and when you come home for a week or 10 days, you look different. “

Rohit then replied to his mother and said, “Mother, what should I do. There is a batsman named Cheteshwar Pujara who has been batting for three days.” Rohit may have retired from Test cricket. But Pujara is still working hard to return to the Test team.

Pujara has played more than 100 Test matches for India. During this time he has played many important innings for India. Pujara has scored 7195 runs in 103 Tests. Pujara has scored 35 half -centuries and 19 centuries during this period. He has also scored three double centuries in Test cricket.
