WTC Final: 'Resilient' Cheteshwar Pujara should make best use of scoring opportunities in England - WV Raman

WTC Final: Former India cricketer WV Raman has said that Cheteshwar Pujara should not play against his character but at the same time look to make the best use of the scoring opportunities in the difficult English conditions.

Former India Women coach WV Raman has said that Cheteshwar Pujara will have to make the best use of the scoring opportunities in the difficult English conditions. The statement from Raman comes a week ahead of India's World Test Championship (WTC) final versus New Zealand. WV Raman, also a former India cricketer, pointed out that Pujara's technique of grinding the bowlers first and then scoring can work in India and Australia, but in English conditions, where conditions are capable of changing every session, Pujara "can look and play a few more shots". "I think Cheteshwar perhaps can look at playing a few more shots. In England, you’ve got to make the best use of the scoring opportunities. Assuming this will again be a typical English summer, you will get very few scoring opportunities anyway. Cheteshwar likes to grind for long hours and then score. In that period, he might miss out on some scoring opportunities.
