Cheteshwar Pujara is the second leading run-getter in the tournament so far. Following his recent match for Sussex against Middlesex, Pujara shared a few pictures and a video on his social media platform. The Indian cricketer slammed an unbeaten 170-runs knock off 197 balls in the match. His knock came at a strike rate of 86.29, including 22 boundaries and three sixes.

Cheteshwar Pujara eyes Test comeback
Cheteshwar Pujara’s brilliant stint with Sussex in the County Championship has put him in consideration for the upcoming Test in England. The Indian cricketer made his debut for Sussex on a flying note, slamming a double hundred in the second innings. Playing against Derbyshire, he scored an unbeaten 201 off 387 balls, including 23 boundaries.
Pujara followed it up with a century and a double century in the next two matches against Worcestershire and Durham. He has 717 runs under his belt in seven innings at an average of 143.40 in the County Championship Division Two. He is the second leading run-getter just behind Durham’s Sean Dickson.
Earlier this year, the 32-year-old was dropped from the Indian test team for the two-match test series against Sri Lanka. However, his marathon knocks for Sussex, have boosted the chances of his comeback in whites for India.
