Oodles of talent, consummate self-confidence and an insatiable hunger for success have enabled Cheteshwar Pujara score hundreds of Bradmanesque proportions in the Indian domestic season. Having scored 130 and 132 in the Buchi Babu tournament, he followed it up by back-to-back triple hundreds (386 and 309) in the C.K. Nayudu Trophy. Though a double failure followed, against Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy season opener, he came back with three consecutive centuries (302 not out, 189 and 176), and staked his claims for a place in the Test team. Excerpts from an interview to Haresh Pandya in Sportstar.
I don’t believe in comparisons. I don’t think you can have two similar individuals. Though I idolise Dravid, I must say I’ve never tried to imitate him even in my wildest of dreams. It just isn’t possible. He is a great batsman, a living legend. I’m my own man and I always try to be as natural and original as I can.
