Pujara said at the end of the day’s play, “We are confident and have a lot of support from the team management. We have always been learning from Sunny Bhai and he has always been supportive whenever I have talked to him.”
He understands that questions will be asked when the run will dry up but players like him and Rahane have won a lot of games for the team.

“Yes, there are times when you are going through bad form, there will be questions but we are confident players. Me and Ajinkya and we know we are working hard on our game and there is a saying that form is temporary but The class is permanent and it applies here.

The heavy roller settles the pitch down
Pujara is confident that in the next hour the variable bounce will spoil the pitch coming into the game.

Pant will be good

Pujara said, “We all know that Rishabh is playing an aggressive game. When he has not scored in this game, he will definitely do well in the upcoming matches.”
