BENGALURU: Ignominiously dropped for the two-Test series against the West Indies, Cheteshwar Pujara decided to do what he usually does — hunker down and grind it out in domestic cricket.
The 103-Test veteran, who at 35 appears to be close to the twilight of his international career, headed straight for the Duleep Trophy and casually smashed his 60th first-class century against Central Zone in the semifinal. He has worked as if there is no tomorrow in the nets.
