Five players who have improved under Virat Kohli

#3 Cheteshwar Pujara

Pujara has transformed into India's most dependable Test batsman

Cheteshwar Pujara was initially dropped in the beginning of Kohli's tenure, the reason being that he wanted to see more intent from the Saurashtrian. Pujara worked hard and earned a recall after which he has thrived.

He has over 2000 runs already under Kohli in 23 Tests at an average of 62.51 with seven hundreds and nine half-centuries. Under Dhoni, Pujara had played three additional Tests but had one century less and an average below 50.

In Sri Lanka this time around, Pujara has been rock solid, evoking memories of the 'Wall' himself at no.3. He has displayed more intent and scored quickly, with his double century stand with Ajinkya Rahane coming at a pretty brisk rate.
