#2 Chesteswar Pujara

2nd Test - Australia v India: Day 3
Pujara has cemented his spot in India's Test XI

In this new age of cricket, an old-school Test cricketer in Cheteshwar Pujara has patiently crafted his way into the Indian side and cemented a spot in the Test side.

Amassing a staggering 2797 runs in 30 Test matches with a career best of 206, the 29-year-old has mastered surfaces in India, making him a sure shot on this list.

With plush strokes and incredible ability, Pujara is a calm, composed cricketer with an excellent batting average of 63.57 at home. Having previously plied his trade with English county clubs, Pujara has learnt the art of Test batting to the dot, with a twist of his own, as his technique and grip are quite unique.

Still relatively new to the fold in terms of matches played, one thing that is certain is Pujara can hold his own in any situation and he excels on home surfaces where he can take the game to the opposition bowlers.
