"If you don't get out, I'll ask for wheelchairs": Pujara recalls 'best sledge'

Pujara during the recent Test series against Australia

Cheteshwar Pujara has done enough with a bat in his hand to be hailed as one of India's best modern-day Test players, but more than the numbers, it is his ability to blunt bowling attacks that stands out.

The recollection of an Australian sledge on him, back in 2017, highlights how big a mental impact his innings have on the opposition.

"When we were playing against Australia in the third Test in Ranchi in 2017, one of the players came and told me 'Now if you don't get out, we'll have to ask for wheelchairs.' I was batting on 170-plus. That's the best sledge I remember from an Aussie player", Pujara told the Times of India.
