Cheteshwar Pujara: After 36 years, the Indian starter scored half a century at Edgbaston

The fifth and final match of the series between India and England at Edgbaston has reached a very interesting stage. The Indian team has strengthened its control over the match until the end of three days. However, there are still two days left and everything is possible. In the remaining two matchdays, the England team can fight back, for this the Indian team will not only have to be alert, but also have to be ready. Meanwhile, the hero of the third day of the match was starter Cheteshwar Pujara, who hit brilliantly. Cheteshwar Pujara, who landed as a starter, completed fifty from him at the end of the day and is still in the crease.

India team have never been able to beat England at Edgbaston

This test match takes place between India and England at the same Edgbaston, where the India team has never been able to defeat England. The India team has played seven matches so far at Edgbaston and this eighth match is underway. Out of these seven, the Indian team had to face defeat in six and one match ended in a draw. That is to say, even after hundreds of efforts, the India team has not been able to win a single match at Edgbaston. Not only this, Indian players have also been seen here battling to score a century. Before this test, Indian players Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli have scored centuries. But the important thing is that so far not a single starter has been able to score half a century, not even a century. Cheteshwar Pujara has now become the first Indian starter to score half a century at Edgbaston. They are still undefeated though and should be expected to mark their century.
It will complete it.

Cheteshwar Pujara had the opportunity to open Team India

Actually Cheteshwar Pujar comes to play at number three, in this match he would also arrive at number three. But even before the start of the test match, the team’s captain and starter, Rohit Sharma, tested positive for Kovid and was out of the match. Although Mayank Agarwal was hastily sent to England for the first match, he was not given a place in the playing XI. Following this, Jasprit Bumrah, who was captaining the match, said that Cheteshwar Pujara will go for the opening with Shubman Gill. Cheteshwar Pujara could not do much in the first innings of the match. Pujara had scored 13 runs on 46 balls in the early innings, but he couldn’t turn it into a big inning. But in the second inning, Cheteshwar Pujara batted carefully. Shubman Gill, Hanuma Vihari and Virat Kohli came out the other end but even after this Cheteshwar Pujara did not give up and stayed in the crease. At the end of the third day’s play, Cheteshwar Pujara was playing 50 runs on 139 balls. During this Pujara he hit five fours.
