Dhurandhar, who has played 103 Tests, may return to Team India, created a stir with his double century, played his last match a year ago.


New Delhi. Questions have been raised on the batting order of the Indian cricket team after it was bundled out for 46 runs in the first innings in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. India next has to tour Australia where the team is all out for 36 runs. However, after this the team came back and captured the series. The selectors want to avoid such a situation and experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara may return to the team for the Australia tour.

Cheteshwar Pujara had proved to be a nightmare for Pat Cummins and his team in the last two Australia tours. He can be included in the Indian team for the five-Test series starting next month. The selectors are going to announce the team on October 28. If chief selector Ajit Agarkar and his team rely on Pujara's experience, he may get a place in the team.

36-year-old Pujara had scored 521 runs in the 2018-19 series and after three years again became the backbone of Indian batting when he added 271 runs. Pujara, a veteran of 103 Test matches between the two teams, faced the most balls. On the tour, he tired Kangaroo fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. Pujara has not played any match for India since the World Test Championship final in June last year.

Rajni scored a double century
Pujara's hunger for big innings is still not over. He played an inning of 234 runs against Chhattisgarh in the recent season of Ranji Trophy. This batsman is known for staying on the wicket. Pujara does the job well of spending time on the pitch and breaking the morale of the opposing bowlers. He holds one end even on difficult wickets.
