Pujara is the second fastest in terms of innings by an Indian player to reach 1,000 runs, next only to Vinod Kambli
Having taken up the no. 3 spot in the Indian Test team after the retirement of Rahul Dravid, Cheteshwar Pujara has some really big shoes to fill. And while it’s too early to compare the two, the Saurashtra lad sure has had a great start to his Test career.
He reinforced the point on Monday, when during the third day’s play against Australia in Hyderabed he scored his second double ton in international cricket. In the process, he became the second fastest Indian to cross the 1000 mark, behind Vinod Kambli.
