Team India’s new Mr. Dependable Cheteshwar Pujara scored his ꧑sixth 150-plus score during the first innin🅠gs of the Galle Test against Sri Lanka.
He took the crease when India was 27 for 1 after the dismissal of opener Abhinav Mukund. Despite the ball seaming both ways and under dark clouds, Pujara stuck to his basics and completed his 12th Test century♋.
The Saurashtra batsman looked good for a big score, and a double-hundred was on the cards. However, Nuwan Pradeep hurled in the right channe൲l and induced a thin edge, di💜smissing Pujara for 153.
