On Sunday, Pujara played a gutsy innings to score a double-century on his debut for Sussex in County Cricket and this made him only the second Indian batter to score a double ton in the County Championship. Azharuddin had achieved this feat twice, once in 1991 when he scored 212 against Leicestershire and then in 1994 against Durham when he piled 205 runs. On both the instances, Azharuddin was representing County side Derbyshire.
