"The epitome of tenacity!"- Twitterati extends special wishes to Cheteshwar Pujara on his 35th birthday

The cricket community on Twitter extended its warm wishes to Indian Test stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara as he turned 35 on Wednesday, January 25. Pujara was last seen on the cricket field during the Test series against Bangladesh last month, where he won the player of the series award for his consistent batting efforts.

After that, he played a couple of domestic games to get some match practice during the break. He sat out Saurashtra's latest Ranji match to keep himself fresh for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia at home.

Cheteshwar Pujara has played an instrumental role for India during the last three BGT series, which Team India managed to win. His performances in the Indian top order against a quality Australian bowling attack will once again be pivotal for India's trophy defense in the upcoming series.

On the occasion of his 35th birthday, the Twitterverse was quick to wish him well on social media platforms. His former Indian teammate Sachin Tendulkar led the way with a special post on Twitter. Soon, others joined him in wishing Pujara a wonderful birthday.
