The special thing is that Pujara is also handling the responsibility of captaincy of Sussex in this match. Actually the Sussex team’s regular captain Tom Haynes has been injured. Haynes will be off the field for the next 6-7 weeks. In such a situation, Pujara was appointed the interim captain of the team by the Sussex Management.
Due to poor form, 34-year-old Pujara could not find a place in the team for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka this year. After this Pujara turned to county cricket to regain his form, where he is performing well. Due to this Pujara was included in Team India for the recently held Edgbaston match against England. Pujara scored 66 runs in India’s second innings in the Edgbaston Test match. However, this innings of Pujara went in vain and India were defeated by seven wickets.
