- Temperament
Cheteshwar Pujara has a solid temperament to bat long in tough conditions. His ability to play the ball on the merit makes him a good test player. KL Rahul played two poor strokes in both innings and lacked the temperament to play long innings.
India lost the match by 31 runs with all top order batsmen failing in both innings. If Cheteshwar Pujara would have been there, it would have helped team India to post a decent total in first innings or chase down the target of 194.
