Aus vs Ind: Pujara Can Hurt Teams Even With Low Strike Rates, Says Hayden

By IANS News December 14, 2020 • 12:21 PM View: 2701

Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden believes India's Test veteran Cheteshwar Pujara is one of the very few batsmen in world cricket who can hurt the opposition teams despite his low strike rate.

Pujara amassed 521 runs with three centuries and earned the Man-of-the-Series award in the 2018-19 series Down Under and will once again hold the key for India as they aim to defend the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. His role becomes more critical for the visitors once skipper Virat Kohli returns to India following the culmination of the first Test of the four-match series.
