In the Border Gavaskar series, Pujara’s bat seemed to be rusted. He executed innings of 7, 0, 31, 1, 59, 42 runs in the 4 Test series. At the same time, in the World Test Championship final, his innings of 14 runs in 25 balls and 27 runs in 47 balls spoiled the whole game. After the team’s defeat in the final, there was a lot of discussion about his place and Pujara was dropped from the West Indies tour. (ap)
