In the current Ranji Trophy 2024–25, veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara made a loud statement with a stunning century. Only a few days after India’s batting lineup faltered against New Zealand in the opening Test, he turned in an outstanding effort at a pivotal moment.

Pujara’s century gave national selectors and team management a much-needed reminder that he is still a reliable player in red-ball cricket. Pujara’s performance highlighted his worth as India gets ready for the much awaited visit of Australia, especially in difficult foreign environments.

Pujara established his continued relevance and proved he still has what it takes to lead India’s batting with this century. Australia is a tough place for India’s batsmen to play, so his experience and knowledge will be really useful.

It’s obvious what Pujara is trying to say: he is not finished. Due to his impressive argument for staying a staple in India’s middle order, his comeback is expected to provoke discussion regarding his inclusion in the Indian squad for the next tour of Australia.

The seasoned hitter, who hasn’t played for the Indian Test team since the WTC 2023 final, showed off his desire for a return with a brilliant performance in the current Ranji Trophy 2024–25.

Day 4 of the second-round bout took place in Rajkot’s Niranjan Shah Stadium, where Pujara delivered a brilliant knock that displayed his characteristic tenacity. In addition to surpassing the significant mark of 21,000 first-class runs with this ton, the right-hander has informed the selectors that he is prepared to stake a claim for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024–2025.

Pujara’s intentions were evident as soon as he took the field. Saurashtra had a shaky start in response to Chhattisgarh’s massive first-inning score of 578/7d, but Pujara, as always, stayed tall. Entering the grand championship at his customary No. 3 spot, the 36-year-old showed off a remarkable assortment of strokes, driving and flicking his way to another faultless century.
