Team India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara is currently playing country cricket with Sussex. The batter had an eventful timeout with Sussex in April-May this year, scoring two double-centuries and two centuries that paved his way into the Indian cricket team against England in the rescheduled fifth Test match.
Pujara's side Sussex are currently playing County Championship Division Two team, Leicestershire and it seems the right-hander has donned a new role! Yes, Pujara was seen rolling his arm as he bowled a single over and conceded eight runs in the process. This is not the first time he has bowled in Test cricket. Pujara was last seen bowling off-breaks in First-Class cricket where he scalped 6 wickets in 21 innings.
