Great hit by Cheteshwar Pujara, though no approach to get out: Karsan Ghavri

Adapting to Australian conditions and a buoyant Adelaide representation fast was a pivotal to Cheteshwar Pujara’s success opposite a Australians, reckoned former India all-rounder Karsan Ghavri. One-drop batsman Pujara’s grand 123 helped India strech a important 250 for 9 yesterday.

“The other players were struggling, though Pujara knew how to cope with a green, buoyant wicket. He creates adjustments quicker than others. This ton is really one of his best knocks,” pronounced Ghavri, who like Pujara, was innate in Rajkot.

Saurashtra is not a usually tie between Pujara and Ghavri. The former India all-rounder helped Pujara in his infirm years by arranging for a child batsman to play and sight in Mumbai.

Ghavri was full of regard for Pujara, though he was really unhappy with his run out dismissal. “Losing your wicket for that additional run is like a crime. As distant as using between wickets is concerned, he is small bit on a slower side, so we feel he should not take risks while going for discerning singles or twos. Only for that additional run, one can't remove a good batsman,” stressed Ghavri.

Ghavri’s dual tours to Australia — in 1977-78 and 1980-81 — were rewarding. His 7 wickets during a Adelaide Oval in a 1977-78 series-decider went in vain. In 1980-81, he bowled Greg Chappell turn his legs for a steep en track to feat in Melbourne. In a prior Test during Adelaide, he helped India to an sparkling pull while batting with tailender Shivlal Yadav.
