The suspense over Cheteshwar Pujara’s extent of injury ended today with teammate Shikhar Dhawan confirming the Indian middle-order mainstay’s participation in the third cricket Test against Australia, starting here tomorrow.
“Pujara is fit and ready to play,” Dhawan, who will be making his Test debut tomorrow, told reporters.
Initially though, the Delhi left-hander was reluctant in answering Pujara’s status.
“You have to ask the physio for that,” was Dhawan’s answer.
