Pujara Has Set High Standards For Himself: Rahul Dravid
India head coach Rahul Dravid has backed senior top-order batter Cheteshwar Pujara to do well in the second Test at the Wanderers, saying that the Rajkot-based batter has achieved a lot in the years he has played Test cricket. Pujara, undergoing a lean patch, was dismissed for a golden duck during India's first innings in the first Test at Centurion. In the second innings, he made only 16 runs off 64 balls and fell twice to Lungi Ngidi.
"I hate using the word 'concerned'. He is doing the best he can. I do recognise that at times, certainly, he'd like to score more. Someone like him sets really high standards for himself. He has achieved a lot in the ten years he has played cricket. He knows the highs he has had and the kind of success, performances, or runs scored in the past. He would like to replicate that and keep doing that over and over again," said Dravid in the virtual press conference on the eve of the second Test.
