Puja Pabari brightens Cheteshwar Pujara’s mood

Cheteshwar Pujara with wife Puja

India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara has revealed that he is competitive not just on the field but off it too.

In an interview, he narrated a funny incident to host Samir Kochhar about how he does not let his wife Puja win even in a friendly game of badminton. "I am very stubborn as a cricketer. When we are talking about the Australia series, I don't like to get out. Similar things happen off the field. If I am playing badminton, you know, I won't let my wife [Puja] win. That winning attitude remains."

When asked whom does he speak to brighten his mood, he was quick to answer: "With my wife." Meanwhile, when Kochar asked him about his comfort food to destress, Pujara, who loves listening to any dance music to brighten his mood, replied: "Gathiya and jalebi."
