There is an Indian cricket trend for a while now.
Every time the team did not do well, Cheteshwar Pujara suddenly became a criminal from the pieces because of the slow level of the attack.
It was no different after India lost the final of the world test championship against New Zealand and there were suggestions from the quarter that the team management was not too happy with the slow punch of Pujara.
In the final, he scored 8 out of 54 balls in the first round and followed up with 15 off 80 in the second, and there was a suggestion that the slow batting allowed the Bowler Kiwi to rise up.
There is talk that the player who can bat in a faster clip must get a nod ahead of the Saurashtra Batsman.

reflect on the right combination of 14 years since India last won a test series in the UK.
The line-up has changed, the captain has come and gone, but the return of England continues to be abysmal even when India has established themselves as a strong tour side in other parts of the world.
But when we come to a difficult series against England, Pujara still remains an important gear in the wheel of India.
While Deputy Captain Ajinkya Rakee voted for his beliefs to players on Monday, Indian captain Virat Kohli, too, seemed to waste his weight behind the Batsman who had played important hands in the most memorable test in India over the past decade.
“It’s been a long time.
A caliber player and his experience must be left alone,” Kohli said.
But there may be a little criticism when the captain added: “It must be handed over to the individual to work on whatever deficiency he has in his game …
the same as me as with other team members.” This might indicate that Kohli wants Pujara to get a little score quickly from time to time, even though it does not mean he is not happy with the right way of bats.
“I know surely knows that Puara doesn’t care.
People can say what they want but in the end, it’s just words,” said the captain.
