Most likely ICC World Test XI 2016-17

#3 Cheteshwar Pujara

The best No.3 batsman in the current set-up

Several cricketing pundits have hailed Pujara for his hunger for runs and this was seen in the 2016/17 season. With 1625 runs from 27 innings at an astounding average of 65, Pujara has established himself as one of the most dependable batsmen in world cricket.

In this period, he has scored six centuries, including a marathon double century against Australia as he batted for over 500 minutes. Known for meditating at the crease, he will want to extend his golden run to overseas tours to South Africa, England and Australia.
