Cheteshwar Pujara got one opportunity and made the most of it. He scored hundred at S.S.C Oval in Colombo. On a difficult pitch when Sri Lankan medium pacers wrecked havoc in India’s batting line-up, Pujara stood like a rock for India. When India keeps losing wicket one after another Pujara Keeps his patience and hit boundaries measuring the merit of balls. Because of his hundred India is now able to put a competitive total on the Board.
Micro-blogging site twitter stands up and salutes Cheteshwar Pujara, who was underestimated by Indian team management in the last two Tests.
A hundred is always a hundred. 3 figures in Testing conditions extra special. Add to that the fair wait. Bravo @cheteshwar1 #SLvIND

Patience is still a virtue and Pujara has that in abundance. #SLvIND

I understand the Pujara love but not the Rohit hate

Beats me why Pujara isnt batting at 3…. CP at 3, VK at 4, AR at 5. Simple….

Class permanent, form temporary: good to see Pujara score a ton. How he could be dropped for first 2 tests, we will never know.

Don’t think there should be any argument about Pujara’s place in this test side. Should never have been any argument in the first place.

Pujara’s hundred will embarras the Indian tour selectors much more than the Lankan bowlers

Rarely have I been as happy with a hundred as this one from Pujara. It feels like vindication of a belief
— Sambit Bal (@sambitbal) August 29, 2015
That’s hundred for Pujara on his return! Prasad has threatened all day, but Pujara has stood firm to take India past 200.
