Here is how Twitter bow down to Cheteshwar Pujara:
Very happy for Pujara. Here is a player who knows his game inside out, is comfortable with who he is and how he plays and is just a simple, modest man. And that quality is a big part of his cricket.

suspect at this stage, the australians would rather babysit for pujara than bowl at him #AUSvIND

Cheteshwar Pujara, in this series, has batted and batted, and batted and batted. Then, batted and batted… And batted some more.
He is still batting! #AusvInd

The RESPECT you get as a cricketer for what @cheteshwar1 is doing in TEST CRICKET, is GREATER than any wonderfully skilful T20 innings.
Youngsters – look, learn & listen!

Chestashwar Pujara was dropped for the first test in England wrongly & he has made quite a statement in this series,living upto his reputation of being a technically solid player,if anyone deserved this form,it’s Pujara #AusvIndia

In many years, a player like Cheteshwar Pujara comes across, who stamps his authority not with aggression, pacey innings or 'intent', but with serenity, calmness and utter patience. Thank God for Pujara!!#AUSvIND

.@cheteshwar1 is the 12th batsman who scored three or more 💯's in a series in Australia and third Indian after #ViratKohli (4), 2014 or #SunilGavaskar (3), 1977 #AUSvIND

Now, naysayers will say rock-solid Cheteshwar Pujara has had to deliver. He has justified his go-slow approach. Test cricket is not about being reckless it's more about the resistance which eventually leads to reinforcement. He is such a bloke, what a ton! Cheers, Che! #AUSvIND
