NEW DELHI: Australian captain Pat Cummins on Tuesday acknowledged the absence of India's batting stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara from the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, calling it a 'shame' that the dependable No. 3 won't be part of the series.
Pujara, known for his resilience and grit, has often been a thorn in Australia’s side. However, Cummins believes India will find a suitable replacement who plays in a similar style, ensuring their batting strength remains intact.
