Saurashtra Cricket Team News

'Form is temporary, class is permanent' reads the cliched saying but it might well be true if Cheteshwar Pujara is an example to go by. Having been dropped from the national side, the Saurashtra veteran dominated Jharkhand in the Ranji season opener to register his 17th first-class double century.

As per ESPNCricinfo, Ravindra Jadeja will resume playing on January 24 when Saurashtra will play Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy. However, Jadeja, as per the BCCI selectors, must take fitness tests to play competitive cricket, and later, mark himself eligible for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Tests.

India batsman Cheteshwar Pujara scored 91 runs in the second innings of the Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai after getting dropped from the Indian Test squad for the Sri Lanka series. Pujara scored 91 runs from 83 balls studded with 16 boundaries and a six showing signs of form with the bat.

Cheteshwar Pujara continued his dry run with the bat and was dismissed without troubling scorers in a Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai. Pujara was trapped LBW by Mohit Avasthi who is playing his debut match and the team was bundled out for 220 runs trailing by 324 runs at the end of first innings.
