Cheteshwar Pujara has been a thorn in Australia's flesh since the start of the series as he has been frustrating the hosts whenever he walks out to bat. He has faced over 1000 balls in the series so far and is still looking fresh.

He piled on the agony in the third Test at SCG as he scored an unbeaten 130 on day 1 to take India to 303/4 at the end of day's play. This is his third century of the series and all the other batsmen have scored a combined total of one century, thanks to Virat Kohli in Perth.

After the Indian batsman reached his century, Australian spinner Nathan Lyon couldn't control himself as he asked Pujara, "Aren’t you bored yet?.” Pujara, in return, just smiled and moved on.
