"Huge Difference Between County And Test Attack": Sunil Gavaskar Gives His Take On Cheteshwar Pujara's India Comeback Chance

Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar shared his views regarding whether Cheteshwar Pujara can get back in the saddle into the Test side on the back of his great exhibitions in the County Championship playing for Sussex.

Cheteshwar Pujara has been in incredible form in the County Championship this season. In his four matches up to this point, he has scored two double centuries and two centuries. His incredible show has persuaded numerous to think that he is ready to get back into the game to the Indian Test side.

Pujara was dropped from the Indian team for the home series against Sri Lanka after some unfortunate run of form. However, with India playing England in a solitary Test beginning on July 1, which will finish the away series that Team India has been driving 2-1 since last year, the BCCI selectors might be enticed to bring Pujara back in.

Cheteshwar Pujara Should Be Considered For Selection Against England: Sunil Gavaskar

Former Indian skipper Sunil Gavaskar had a fascinating interpretation of Pujara’s opportunities to get back in the saddle.

“Yes, it should be kept in mind (for India’s Test match in England). Just last year we saw that before the World Test Championship final, New Zealand played two Test matches in England. Because of that, they got acclimatised to the conditions there and when they got similar conditions in Southampton for the WTC final.

It was raining. They were used to the condition. This is what is happening to Cheteshwar Pujara. He has gotten used to batting in English conditions, against their bowlers.

Yes, there is a huge difference between a County attack and a Test bowling attack, but when a batter is in rhythm, why not take advantage and consider him,” Sunil Gavaskar told in an interview on Sports Tak.
