5 best performers from the 2017 Irani Trophy

2.Cheteshwar Pujara

The Rock of the Indian batting line-up was once again in his elements in the Irani Trophy, making invaluable contributions at the top of the order. Pujara made 86 in Rest of India’s total of 226 and then in the second innings, he went one step further, making an unbeaten 116 and along with Wriddhiman Saha, helping his side chase down 379 runs in the final innings.

This was an important game for Pujara, in the sense, it was the final long format game before the resumption of the Test season early next month and he would surely go into the game with a good amount of confidence under his belt.
