211 Balls Facing Paved The Victory Path In Real !

Its The Balls 211 Behind The Win
{ Faced 211 balls by C Pujara is in my sense the base of India’s brilliant win there at Gaba, Brisbane, Australia }
Yeah this article isn’t for the shallow fans who prefered only pluses and want entertainment on any cost.. Yeah I am talking about the heavyweight format of the game and genuine lovers of Test cricket and this piece is only for the heavy fans. Here I mean the genuinely devoted cricket lovers of the Test that only the real and indeed testing format . India won the T20 series and lost out the F50 series in Australia as the guest rival but forgotten and everyone was awaiting the big action of the Border-Gavaskar Test series of four Test matches. Even the shallow entertainment seekers too were on query what is the situation and most of the time struck to the TV sets. As I ever claim to be one of the biggest lovers of the Test cricket enjoyed the action with curious eyes and passionate heart. Yeah come to the theme that the balls facing in the Test is always a big matter when there is a tough rival . In the 3 rd Test match C Pujara was criticized for his slowest batting. Yes the Test match is not played for the spectators and earning money . It is played for the nation pride , brotherhood, global harmony and honour.
It is Pujara’s 211 balls stand fatigued and faded the Aussies that the match turned in the india’s favour. His solid resistance by playing 211 balls saves almost 4 wickets because at that stage the Aussies were in the cozy zone and were bowling with all stinginess and perplexing manner and it was only possible to stay for C Pujara who has solid technique patience and determination. C Pujara faced P Commins who was at fire and tide with his lathal pace . Pujara by picking unplayable deliveries on the body , helmet ,chest ,
arms etc. Endured many fatal blows. But in all cases protected his wicket . He kept great patience and courage at the pick of P Commins. Yeah one sided S Gill was playing for the runs in his natural way because all the efforts were made by the Aussies bowlers to make out C Pujara. So Shubhaman Gill played flamboyantly. He played all freely and made 91 run by facing 146 deliveries with 8 fours and 2 sixes. His partnership with C Pujara of 114 runs was the prosperous point for india that reduced the target 328 to 214 . It was S Gill who got out as the 2nd wicket. Then A Rahane the captain joined C Pujara. A Rahane played a small innings of 24 run but following the attacking manner only to reduced the pressure. At that time you stay and faced 70 balls and make 35 run getting out is nonsense then it is better that face out 25 ball and make 22 run . Ajinkya Rahane did the same and played with the front in an aggressive manner only to reduce pressure. His 24 reduced the target
216 to 172 because his partner supposed added 20 runs during that stay. And after A Rahane’s departure joined R Pant and the partner ship shaped supposed to be ( I am not giving exact number because just discussing and reviewing the scene ) 45 runs. And thus target was gone diminishing after each small but rich partnership . It means target remains 172 minus 45 rests 127. And it was C Pujara gone and M Agrawal assisted R Pant. Though M Agrawal couldn’t score much run bur partnered well of 45 plus and the target reduced 127 minus 45 run at 82 . Yes M Agrawal out only on the 7 run but his bit stay made the matter favourable. Now the target remained only on two digit. But the half team was gone out . Then joined the 1st innings hero W Sunder. With the beginning he played so aggressively and made 24 run through quick fire passion . His 24 plus his partner Rishabh Pants 24 reduced 48 in 82 remained 34 run. There was no problem and tension of balls. There were sufficient balls to achieve the target. Then as W Suder lost his wicker on N Loyan . Now joined another 1st innings hero S Thakur. Thakur stood up for only 3 balls and made only 2 runs but during that period R Pant showed great recklessness and gained 20 runs and 2 of S Thakur reduced 34 minus 22 remained only
12 run to win. And after got out S Thakur came N Saini but N Saini remained just a watcher at non-striker end because in an over R Pant hit out twelve run and india overcame over host Australia and broke out the jinx of not losing the Test for 33 years. So here balls’ play won the match if observe out the Test nature. Yes the wicket was all playable but it was P Commins who was so tight in length and accurate with lethal pace and to face him was the challenge at that duration but it was Rock vs Torpoid and despite several blow on the body ,face and arms Mr Wall damaged but remained able to save his wicket.
And that was the momentum that kept stay india to fight and go for the runs to win not survive the match . If C Pujara would get out then one end was also in zone of danger and if wickets would fall from both the side after 40 plus partnership then it wouldn’t be sufficient to chase 328 runs’ target and in that case india again would have to go for a draw by sheer struggle and might be lost out the match and wouldn’t meet the new history for india. 114 runs stand was the vital stand between CP and SG . The bold and sound stay allow freedom to S Gill against M Starc, J Hazlewood and N Lyoan. S Gill played as per his will and availed run after run and before being out made valuable 91 . In 114 runs partnership S Gill’s share would be remained 55 approximately because at that point Pujara would be on 24 . But this kind of query hasn’t made by general fans and media. It is the work of critics who have both hawk and vulture eyes and using the 3rd sense evaluate in their way. See when india got victory then india would have lost out 7 wickets. 19 balls were rest . And if Pujara would have been got out in cheap by balls it would put india in danger and it would be so tough to avoid defeat. It’s a pandit’s peep in Test matches regard. India lost out seven wickets and Natarajan and M Siraz including Saini were left and for the Australian pace attack they would be the easy prey. And ultimately I accredited C Pujara’s 211 balls faced off for this great Gaba conquered .
