When Rahul Dravid called off his playing days, there were worrying signs in team management, considering the gap he has left. Cheteshwar Pujara was inserted in the squad with hopes of him replacing Dravid. The beginning was solid and Pujara started scaling new heights with passing of every series. There were hiccups and tally of poor scores in between but he continued to improve. If someone has to be called as backbone of Team India in Test cricket at the moment, it has to be none other than Cheteshwar Pujara. The way he carries on with his innings, tearing down bowlers because of unmatched defence technique and attractive stroke play, is truly remarkable. Series after series, matches after matches, he has bailed out Team India from trickiest of the positions. Pretty much like him, Hardik Pandya, the Indian all-rounder, has turned into an icon for young India. Within no time, he has contributed across formats, winnings games for his team. Apart from his on-field performances, he is scoring in the world of fashion. From his dressing style to toned body, Hardik is giving tough competition to Virat Kohli. The calls of selecting Jasprit Bumrah in Test squad are growing and now they can be heard clearly. Even I feel that Bumrah should get the test nod after proving himself in shorter formats. There is more to read from cricket in this issue.
