New Delhi. Experienced Cheteshwar Pujara, who is out of Team India, says that Rishabh Pant has become very intelligent now. Pujara says that this Indian wicketkeeper is a player of a different level. Team India's star wicketkeeper Pant was the architect of India's victory in the 2020-21 series. And this wicketkeeper batsman has made a comeback after surviving a terrible car accident two years ago. Pujara feels that this left-handed batsman has now become very intelligent and all eyes will be on him. The first Test match of the series between India and Australia will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth from Friday. This test match can be watched in India from 7:50 am.
Cheteshwar Pujara said in 'Star Sports Press Room', 'Australian bowlers have some difficulty in bowling to left-handed batsmen. There is a different kind of joy in watching him play. He is an aggressive player who puts pressure on the bowlers. When they try to stop the run, it becomes easier for him to play his natural game. Whoever bats with Rishabh in that partnership will be important. Batting at number five or six, he plays aggressive cricket despite the ball being a bit old. He can change the entire match in one session.

'Australia is a strong contender to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy'
Pujara further said that Australia is a strong contender to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this time because India recently suffered a 0-3 defeat against New Zealand in the home Test series. He said, 'Actually looking at the balance, Australia has the upper hand in the domestic situation. Injuries and Rohit's absence have disturbed our balance. But can we win the series? Surely we can win. It doesn't have any message. If I have to make a prediction, Australia is a strong contender to win the series.
