"Had To Grip Bat With Four Fingers": Cheteshwar Pujara Reveals Challenges During His Gabba Knock
Cheteshwar Pujara's grit and resilience was tested time and again by the Australian bowlers in the fourth innings of the Gabba Test but they couldn't shake his confidence and he went on to score a crucial half-century, laying the foundation for India's historic win. Despite coping several body blows, Pujara stuck to his game plan and tired out the Australia bowlers for close to two sessions. Talking about his match-defining knock, Pujara said that it was not easy for him to bat with a finger injury in the last two Test matches in Sydney and Brisbane. He also said that after getting hit on the finger on Day 5 of the Gabba Test, his pain got further aggravated and made it difficult for him to grip the bat properly and he had to grip the bat with four fingers. . https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/cheteshwar-pujara-reveals-he-had-to-grip-bat-with-four-fingers-after-getting-hit-on-finger-during-gabba-test-2359249
