Cheteshwar Pujaras strange dismissal hurts India

Chennai, February 15: Cheteshwar Pujara is a rock-solid batsman and the opposition bowlers often will have to try that extra bit to earn his wicket, sometimes they also require a piece of luck two. England received a massive piece of luck then on Monday, the third day of the second Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday (February 15).

Pujara tried to flick off-spinner Moeen Ali but the ball's line was much straighter than the batsman expected and the ball reached Ollie Pope at short leg on the bounce. Pujara who left the crease with the momentum of his shot tried to get back to the crease ahead of Pope's throw back to Ben Foakes, the wicketkeeper.

In his effort to turn and reach the crease, Pujara unfortunately jammed the bat on the ground, and the bat fell from his hand. He tried to go past the line with his feet and hand but Foakes had disturbed the stumps well in advance.

Pujara had to walk back with some degree of disbelief. It was as much about the brilliance of Foakes behind the stumps and he displayed it again while effecting stumpings of Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant.
