"There Is Space For Cheteshwar Pujara": Ex-India Star's Big Message For Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma
India will need someone like KL Rahul or Abhimanyu Easwaran, who can play conventional style of cricket, during the challenging tour of Australia and there is space for veteran Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test side, reckons former batter Robin Uthappa. The Indian batting lineup, brimming with stroke players, has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the five-match Test series Down Under. The pressure to play high-quality cricket and deliver has mounted in the wake of humiliating 0-3 whitewash by New Zealand at home. "We need someone defensive, someone who can play conventional, traditional Test cricket. As of now, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran are the ones who can play that role," Uthappa, expert JioCinema & Sports18, said in a virtual media interaction.
