Former Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara has advised young spinner Manav Suthar to focus on his red-ball development. Following Suthar's match-winning 10-wicket performance in Galle, Pujara cautioned the player against altering his natural bowling style for the IPL.
India's Devdutt Padikkal scored a magnificent 167 off 230 balls against Sri Lanka in the opening Test in Galle, anchoring the visitors' innings despite rain interruptions and joining an elite list of Indian number 3 batters.
Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will likely have to wait for his T20I debut against England. Pujara cited the team management's probable preference for the established top order and the challenge of replicating IPL success in English conditions as reasons for the delay.
Cheteshwar Pujara expressed surprise at Rishabh Pant's modest IPL record, attributing it to mindset and clarity issues rather than technique. Pujara suggested Pant needs to develop his off-side game and questioned if captaincy burdens are impacting his T20 performances. He believes focusing solely on his batting could significantly boost Pant's success.
