Watch: Cheteshwar Pujara Turns Back on Virat Kohli While Running Between the Wickets

India’s number three batsman Cheteshwar Pujara turned his back on skipper Virat Kohli while running between the wickets. Kohli played a fine flick shot towards the deep square boundary and was quick to get off his feet. The Indian skipper accelerated at his top speed and wanted to come back for the fourth run. However, Cheteshwar Pujara is not the fastest of Indian players and didn’t pay heed to Kohli’s call.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is one of the fittest players in the world. Kohli is a live wire on the field and likes to challenge himself to reach the limits. On the other hand, Chetheshwar Pujara played a fine knock of 106 runs from 319 runs. The right-hander scored his 17th Test hundred as he batted at the top of his game.

Pujara took 280 balls to complete his hundred. Thus, Pujara took his own time to get his runs as he scored 10 boundaries in his knock. Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara has so far scored 328 runs as he is the leading run-scorer in the series.
