NEW DELHI: Cheteshwar Pujara provided a new life to his dwindling Test career by breaking the century drought on the third day of the first Test against Bangladesh on Friday in Chattogram.
Pujara, who scored his last Test hundred in January 2019 against Australia in Sydney, brought up his 19th century off just 130 balls. It was also Pujara’s fastest Test century in his 97-match career.
The right-handed Pujara shifted the gears after scoring his half-century off 86 balls as his next fifty came from just 43 balls.
