Cheteshwar Pujara was the fulcrum around whom India build their historic Test series win in Australia. Pujara held the inning together and allowed the younger guns to play freely. He took body blows, suffered injuries but kept batting and tired the Aussie bowling attack letting the others around him play their shots. Jaffer praised Pujara in his new trademark style.
