Cheteshwar Pujara in action on the fifth day 4.
Cheteshwar Pujara, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Sunday, has left his career celebrating his patience, courage and resistance. Among the many shifts that defined him, his 56 of the 211 balls during the historical victory in India in Gabba in 2021 excel, but not only for running, but for a mere physical punishment that he could withstand. On the last day in Brisbane, when Australian fast pitchners started tireless fire, Pujara was hit 11 times on his body. Pat cummins hit him on the back of the helmet, under the neck, chest, thigh, biceps and once for gloves.Mitchell Starc raped him twice on the bottom glove, while Josh Hazlewood released three painful blows. One was on his arm above the elbow, the other on the gloves, which even made him fall to the fall of the bat, and finally on the helmet that saw his neck guard falls.

Every strike was a painful wound, but Pujara refused to tear. Its 211-Mock Vigil Otupil the Australian pace of the attack and prepared the stage for Rishabh Pant to scripulate one of the most famous test victories in India. Pujara explained his thinking later and revealed why he decided to take the wounds rather than postpone them with a bat. “The head hit is not too painful because you have a helmet protection. Yes, it looks very scary when watching on TV and even as a dough you don’t want to hit the helmet … Forgive pain and bruises … but I’m talking about the pitch, I feel it had variable reflection. that in 2021 it was not created.

“There was the opportunity to defend himself with a bat, but it wasn’t a safe option, because the ball could hit your glove and go to a short leg, slip feet or during the course, or you can be out.

Pujar’s perseverance gained praise from the whole cricket world. Sunil Gavascar, who paid tribute after his retirement, said to Toi, “One of the old crickets in an old school that gave India to everything else. He took endless strokes for Indian cricket, but never took a step back. was over everyone, and everything that would be above all that would be above all and everything that would be above all and everything that would be above all, and everything that would be over all that would be above all.
