Twitter Pours In Birthday Wishes For Cheteshwar Pujara As He Turns 33

Cheteshwar Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara on Twitter received birthday wishes from several Indian cricketers past and present. The mainstay of India’s Test batting was at his best during the Test series against Australia. Pujara may have not scored a lot of runs but he made sure he was holding one end up so that the stroke players around him can play their natural game.

Especially on the final day of the Test series at Brisbane, Pujara even after coping countless body blows kept batting and completely exhausted the Australia bowlers. Pujara’s determined batting helped India script a famous win at Brisbane. The number 3 batsman has become the now ‘Mr. Dependable’ for team India in the longest format of the game.

Cricketers Wish Cheteshwar Pujara On His 33rd Birthday

Pujara has scored Test centuries in Australia, South Africa and England which shows that he has been consistent even away from home. The 33-year-old often grinds the opposition out with his solid defensive play and then scores freely against both pace and spin after getting set. Pujara was applauded by the entire cricketing world for his gritty batting under pressure against a quality Aussie bowling attack.

Since the retirement of Rahul Dravid, Pujara has been tagged as the new ‘Wall’ of Indian cricket. Overall Pujara has played 81 Test matches in which he has amassed 6111 runs at an average of 47.7 including 18 Test centuries. Pujara from the very beginning of his career has only focused on Test cricket and always wanted to score big runs in whites.

Pujara is old school and loves to bat for long hours which is a rare trait in today’s time. A proper Test batsman who always stays in the shadow of Virat Kohli but quietly does his job. Pujara has now undoubtedly become one of the finest Test batsmen India has ever produced.

At 33, Pujara still has a lot of cricket left in him and will be hoping to consistently score runs and help India win more Test matches. Meanwhile, here’s how his teammates wished him on Twitter and his 33rd birthday.
