Cheteshwar Pujara News: The passion for India-Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy is running high among the people. It is natural for this to happen because India has won two back-to-back Test series on Australian soil. Now the team captained by Jasprit Bumrah has won the first match of the third series. Cheteshwar Pujara, the hero of the last two Test series, is currently present in the commentary box and is entertaining the fans a lot. It was Pujara who emerged as the hero of India’s victory when an inexperienced team captained by Ajinkya Rahane reached Australia. Pujara bore the lethal bowling of the Kangaroo bowlers on the bouncy pitch of Brisbane and along with Rishabh Pant, played an important role in breaking the pride of Gabba after almost 30 years.

The personal life of Cheteshwar Pujara, who has emerged as the new ‘The Wall’ in the Indian team, has been full of challenges. Coming from a middle-class family, Pujara faced all the challenges with the help of his parents and earned a lot of name. Pujara’s father is a cricket coach. There was a time when father did not allow Pujara to play with tennis ball. Actually, he did not want his son to spoil his game completely by playing cricket with tennis balls at a young age. Pujara told in Cricbuzz show Spicy Pitch, ‘When I was four-five years old, we used to play under the tree near the old house. Father had taken a bat to play with the tennis ball. At the age of eight, I started practicing cricket with my father. His father made it clear that now there will be no cricket with tennis balls.

Learn ground shots without fear of breaking glass!
Pujara said, ‘Children used to play cricket here near the old house, but I was not allowed. Whenever Papa would go to office, I would go out from behind to play and do some wicketkeeping. Even then, Pujara used to play only ground shots here because there was a fear of breaking the neighbours’ glasses if he played aerial shots. In such a situation, if the father came to know, there was a fear of losing childhood cricket. Fans know Pujara for defeating the opposing team through ground shots.

Mother bought bat for son on installments
Cheteshwar Pujara came from a middle class family and earned a lot of name in the field of cricket. At that time, his father had the dual responsibility of running the house as well as focusing on Pujara’s game. At that time, the family did not even have the money to get a professional bat for little Pujara. At that time, the mother bought a huge bat of Rs 1500 for Cheteshwar Pujara for her son on installments. Pujara told that the pads he used to wear in his childhood were made by his mother with her own hands. He said that the pads available in the market were not comfortable according to his body. In such a situation, to end his son’s problem, the mother made pads for him with her own hands.
