Is Cheteshwar Pujara world crickets next up and coming star?

[Jemisi]

Yeah, there is plenty of time to get oneself out on the way to 300.

306 not out against West Indies A today. That brings his First Class average up to 61.80 after 84 matches, surpassing S Badrinath's 60.13 after 111 matches.

He's been a real find for India at number three, and with Tendulkar approaching retirement age it's not hard to see the weight of India resting on the back of Pujara pretty soon.

The timing of this triple century is almost poetic with Tendulkar announcing his retirement earlier this week. The baton is being passed on.

Pujara is going places.

What does Pujura have to do to get noticed by the cricketing world?
He's unbeaten on 135 against South Africa now, his Test average has hit 70.

First tour outside of India and a great start ......

I think when India go England or Aus if he makes runs there he will be given his dues ....

I thought he would struggle against the Sth Africans on the bouncey pitches but his technique is holding up ....

I believe Kohli and Pujara could complement each other and become the next Tendulkar - Dravid combo - Kohli the more of a superstar filled with flamboyance, while Pujara the solid unsung kind.

With Kohli running away with all the accolades and adulation, and Pujara quietly going about his business, that comparison with Tendulkar & Dravid becomes even more meaningful. Che Pujara, the next unsung hero of Indian cricket?

Che Pujara, the next unsung hero of Indian cricket?

You mean he won't get his own Bollywood movie anytime soon? Shame.
