Cheteshwar Pujara Achieves Unique Record, Joins Tendulkar, Laxman, Dravid in Elite List

The Mr. Consistent in Indian cricket when it comes to Tests, Cheteshwar Pujara, added a new feather to his cap as he became reached the 2000-run landmark in Tests against Australia. Pujara, whose place in the Indian team was questioned not too long ago, seems to have hit the purple patch once again, putting useful runs on the board for the Indian team. On Day 3 of the 4th Test against Australia, Pujara crossed the 2000-run mark in Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a feat not achieved by any active Indian cricketer at present.

In the past, only the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, and Rahul Dravid have managed to put 2000 runs on the board against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The Ahmedabad test was the 24th for Pujara in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with the first one being in the 2017-18 season.
