Well, yet another day and yet another century for Cheteshwar Pujara. The Test specialist is doing wonders for India with his majestic strokeplay by toiling Australian bowlers hard. Meanwhile, the complimentary wishes poured in for him across the world, in which Virender Sehwag came up with a congratulatory tweet in his own way.

The typical Virender Sehwag turned the famous Hindi sentence in favour of Cheteshwar Pujara. Further, he congratulated Cheteshwar Pujara’s consistency to knock runs and for his 3rd century of the series.

Digging into his tweet, it read ”Zindagi Na Milegi Pujara. Brilliant to watch the determination and the consistency has been amazing. Congratulations Cheteshwar Pujara on your third hundred of the series.”

Cheteshwar Pujara knocks 18th Test century:

Cheteshwar Pujara scored his 18th Test century on Thursday during the first day of the fourth Test between India and Australia. He faced 199 balls and smashed 13 fours over the course of another marathon innings.

He came into the middle after the dismissal of KL Rahul in the third over of the match. He then got stuck in the middle with Mayank Agarwal, who went on to score his second consecutive half-ton of the series. The pair ensured that India doesn’t lose any more wickets in the first session.

Later, Mayank Agarwal lost his wicket while trying to tackle Nathan Lyon. Though Virat Kohli looked like adding a big score with Pujara, he failed to make it so, as he was strangled on the leg side.

Pujara has been in outstanding form in Australia. Last month, he had bailed India out of trouble with a sublime 123 at the Adelaide Oval before another half-century in the second innings ensured India had enough on the board to secure a historic win.
