Sparkling Cricket Test Star diminished abruptly !
★Cheteshwar Pujara,the Test Maestro: Upward-
Downward★
(Debut 2010 onward 2021)
Cheteshwar Pujara the replica if Rock and mr dependable Rahul Dravid up to 65 Test was looking very impactive to have big average that is 57.38 but only 20 last Test matches reduced his batting average due to average performance. He has played 85 Test and under it 142 innings in which he remained 8 times so 134 test innings so far . And at the Climb and was feared to Virat Kohli’s reign to have high batting average but last 20 Test matches he played in 2019, 2020, 2021 his performance got down and up to 85 test and 134 innings his average reduced at 46.59. And it is the question would he get that brilliant average again ? Though enough cricket is left in part of Pujara because he is just 33 and played only 85 Test. In present era most of the successful cricketers ‘ career remained long and have played 140 plus Test generally. So it can be hope he will play 50 Test more up to age 38 if keep good form. And it would be challenge for him to maintain at least 50 plus batting average. From India only three cricketer batsmen who have succeeded to keep 50 plus batting average so dar after finishing their prosperous career by play 125 Test matches at least. Yeah they are Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar ans Rahul Dravid . Yes contemporary great Virat Kohli the captain of Ceteshwar Pujara and the team india is with high average plus 52 by playing 91 Test and it’s a great achievement . Sachin’s example is so amole in this regards that after playing 200 Test he maintain high batting average.
Yeah see Cheteshwar Pujara’s year wise performance:
- 2010— 4 Innings scored 105 run
*2011– Yeah 1 innings 2 run only
*2012—- Innings10 Run 654. n.o. -2
*2013 –Innings 13 Run 829. n.o. 2
*2014 —-Innibgs 20 Run 483
*2015—-Innibgs 8
Run 347 n.o.1
*2016—-Innings 16 Run 836. n.o.1
Total runs- 3256 in the 72 innings but in it remained not out for 6 times so nett innings are 66. *In 2017 he played 18 innings and made 1140 runs by remaining not out in an innings so
nett innings rest 17
So score tally goes up 3256+ 1140=4396 run in 66+ 17=83 innings .
At this journey he made 4396 runs in 83 innings so his average rests–
4396÷83= 52.96
Yeah almost 53 aggregate
But after 2917 his dazzling performance reduced by average and in 4 years ✅✅✅✅
2018 to 2021 March remained his thinnest phase that he plays
2018 22. 837
2019 11. 507
- 163
2021 10. 341.
—–. ——-
5 1 18 4 8
1848÷51= 36.23
So in 51 innings who could score 1848 and had the lowest career average 36.38.
But see he begun well and in his first 24 innings he scored 1590 runs (1590÷24= 66 25) and during that his average remained very handsome that is 66.25

*Since the debut 2010 to 2017 Cheteshwar Pujara played 57 Test and 95 innings and upto this journey his batting average was so handsome
yes 52.96
But the poor show in the year 2019 in which he played 8 Test and made 163 runs and in 2020 in which he played 11 test and made 507 run and these 2 years’. Performance spoiled and affected his great game . Though at present in the running journey his batting average is still good that is 46.59 but at beginning of his career in his first 24 innings *2910 to 2013) his average was envious yeah 66.25 and in comparison he kept his runs’ journey but alas in the descending order. But he is a styles and compact batsman and specially the Test Specialist batsman so can be hope that whenever he would finish his career finish by keeping 50 plus batting average that yet another diamond would add in the crest if indian Test arena in the batting world
