BGT 2024-25: I Am Very Happy That Cheteshwar Pujara Isn’t Here, Says Josh Hazlewood
Indian Premier League: Australia fast-bowler Josh Hazlewood said he was very happy over the absence of top-order batter Cheteshwar Pujara from the Indian squad for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, starting on November 22 in Perth.
Pujara was always the rock at number three which Australian bowlers found it hard to dislodge, as he amassed 993 runs in 11 games at an average of 47.28 in Test matches down under. Apart from scoring five fifties and three hundreds in Australia, Pujara was named Player of the Series during India's historic 2-1 win in the 2018/19 tour.
"I am very happy that Cheteshwar Pujara is not here. He is obviously someone who bats time and spends a lot of time at the crease and makes you earn his wicket every time. Has done really well in Australia on previous tours.”
