The veteran batter is making his return to the Indian Test side after a while. He has the more idea to play in the English conditions than any other Indian batter at the moment courtesy of his recent county exploits. =

Cheteshwar Pujara filled the big shoes of the great Indian wall Rahul Dravid at number three after his retirement. With Rahul Dravid at the helm as a coach now, he could ask Pujara to do the same job he once used to do for India. Who could forget Rahul Dravid’s opening for India whenever a crisis arose.

It won’t be a surprise if he asks his disciple to open for Team India now if Rohit Sharma is unavailable. Hanuma Vihari could be slotted at number three in such a situation.
