India's batting failures in the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand, which included an embarrassing 46 all out in Bengaluru, led to debates featuring the need for someone like Cheteshwar Pujara in the lineup as a stabilizing factor. And former India batsman Robin Uthappa couldn't agree more with that.
India were whitewashed 0-3 by New Zealand -- first such instance ever for India in a home series of three Tests. After losing in overcast and rainy Bengaluru, India were defeated on turning tracks in Pune and Mumbai, which has severely hampered India's chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship final.
