Cheteshwar Pujara: The Waiting Wall

The name Cheteshwar Pujara will be very new for most of us..But it will not stay as the case for a longer time.He is from Rajkot...He may be young in terms of age but in terms of temperament he is far better than many players.He is known for his consistency.He is one player whose conversion ratio of the scores is very high.He has got 3 'TRIPLE HUNDREDS' within a span of 1 month.

He is a world class player according to my view and he will be in the Indian team very soon.He is already being touted as the 'Wall in Waiting'.Very soon he will be replacing Rahul Dravid who is in the fag end of his career.All the best to Pujara and I hope he will reach great heights playing in national colors.

He looked around to see if anyone was there.
