"If The Team Needs Me...": Cheteshwar Pujara's Big Claim On India's Upcoming England Tour

Cheteshwar Pujara hasn't played for India since the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at The Oval in June 2023.

This would be the perfect opportunity to contribute when a win is much needed in England," Pujara told Boria Majumdar on 'Backstage with Boria' season 6
