India vs South Africa: Cheteshwar Pujara scored 7195 runs in 103 Tests at an average of 43.60.
After India's defeat in the first Test against South Africa at Centurion, the country's pundits seemed to panic. Now, former India player Harbhajan Singh has suggested that the team does not have a better Test batsman than Cheteshwar Pujara.
Harbhajan Singh, who criticized the selection of the Test team on his YouTube channel, said, “I didn't pick Ajinkya Rahane and left out Cheteshwar Pujara for no reason. »
“These are two players who scored goals everywhere. If you look at the previous records, Pujara's contribution is as big as Kohli's. I don't understand why Pujara was left out, we still don't have a better batsman than Puajra in Test cricket. He bowls slowly but saves you, because of him India won the Tests in Australia and England,” Harbhajan said.

He added that India were knocked out of the match after their maiden performance in which they scored 245 runs. “In three days, India did not enter the field for a single second. They scored 245 runs after losing in the first innings, all thanks to KL Rahul.
“He played brilliantly to take India's score to 245. India could only score 131 in the second innings and if Virat Kohli's contribution had been removed, it would have been even more difficult. “The match was decided by India's performance in the first innings,” Harbhajan said.
