It was only a matter of time. Think his injuries hampered him as well.

A month or two too late, no?

Learning curve kiddo.

Pujara is India's most complete test batsman, always has been my favourite since I first saw him.

He's a gun

Pujara had a mediocre South African tour first time and followed it up with a lot of runs in the 2nd tour. I have no doubt he would do the same in England.

Indians, update me on Pujara's county stint.

Actually looked decent for his first tour (in SA), got a beaut from Steyn. It was a leg break at 90 MPH!

Out for 6 today. Handling The Ball.

Very naughty.

 

[Mamoon]

Brilliant batsman.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Scored a quick century today.

100* (115 balls). Will do wonders for his confidence. Has not scored a century since SA tour.

Unsure of the quality of country cricket but Jesse Ryder is opening the bowling for Essex and even took a 5fer in their last FC match

 

[Swanny]

Another selfish indian batsman. Derby should have bowled ance they had a lead of 450 or so. But they waited specifically for his 100.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

The important thing is that he is england, the results will come he is too good of player.

What i would give to send some Pakistani batsman to county ...

Conditions favour the bowler so no surprise there, batting is difficult(generally depending on the weather) so this comparison is not right

Well, Ryder and Moeen have also been scoring runs. Think of it what you may.

 

[Aman]

That was a double post.

I believe you

 

[Mamoon]

I'm thankful for that.

 

[Aman]

I'm thankful for that.

How can it be a double post when the earlier post was posted almost 24 hours prior?

 

[Mamoon]

A rare but bizarre technical glitch.

still a day left, and it is Leics.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pujara is selfish?

[Swanny]

Lol leics 76/7. Sorry puj you are cool.

 

[Fastandfurious]

India need to kick the hack Rohit out of the ODI squad and put Pujara in.

Dhoni unfriends you on Facebook.

He sends you a private message:

"You are an evil person.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you."

Cheteshwar Pujara confirms return to County championship with Nottinghamshire

London - Indian batting star Cheteshwar Pujara's return to English county Nottinghamshire will give them a significant boost, head coach Peter Moores said on Wednesday.

Notts are well-placed for an immediate return to the eight-team elite of the county championship as they lead Worcestershire at the top of the second tier by 35 points.

"The great thing is that he (Pujara) has already been in the squad this season and he fitted in so well both on and off the field," said Moores.

"He is a fantastic player, and since he has been away he has had a great time of it in the Test matches for India.

"So we are getting a guy who is coming back in form and for the team spirit, 'Pudji' coming back in is a huge boost for everybody."

The 29-year-old Pujara, with 13 centuries and averaging more than 50 in his 51 Tests, has been away helping India sweep Sri Lanka 3-0 in a Test series - the first time they have achieved that away from home.

He shone for Notts earlier in the season, scoring 223 runs in four matches before leaving to play for his country.

He will be available for the final four matches of the run-in.

Pujawara will have the chance to pit his wits in a fascinating duel with fellow Indian Test star and spin maestro Ravichandran Ashwin, who has signed for Worcestershire.

"We have got two really big home games against Northants and Worcester, because it is a chance for us to put pressure on two sides that are up there with us," said Moores.

"Runs on the board at Trent Bridge is always a big influence and having a player of Test-match quality in 'Pudji' is a real bonus."

"Pudji" had an awful time when we visited England in 2014 with just one fifty IIRC. He has been playing county cricket for three seasons now if I am not wrong.

Hope he makes decent runs when we visit England next summer. Fingers crossed!
