Cheteshwar Pujara six hitting like never before

In an interesting incident, the CSK members present at the IPL 2021 auction event received a round of applause when they bought Cheteshwar Pujara who is often regarded as a Test specialist. Pujara has played pivotal roles in India’s back-to-back historic Test series win in Australia and thus, this was a great gesture from Chennai to include a veteran in their side. Chennai will play their first match this season against Delhi Capitals on April 10 in Mumbai.

Ahead of the IPL 2021 season, Pujara has stated that making a comeback in the IPL means a lot to him as the right hander last played the tournament in 2014. Pujara also mentioned that he felt really good when all the franchises applauded CSK at the auction. He also thanked CSK captain MS Dhoni and owner Mr. Srinivasan for showing faith in him for the upcoming season of the IPL.

“It’s been long for sure (he played 30 games). I was last part of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). My last game, I think, was against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede in 2014. To make a comeback to the IPL means a lot to me. It is the best league in the world and I have missed out on being part of it for a quite some time,” said Cheteshwar Pujara.

“I could not have been more pleased. I am really proud and happy about that gesture by the franchises. It is the respect one gets for representing the country. I thank the franchise, Mr Srinivasan and Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai for showing faith in me,” concluded Pujara.
