It’s not that I haven’t been scoring runs; it’s just that my job is to bat effectively for the team. I’ve got a lot of 80s and 90s in my collection. I’m not concerned with my hundred as long as I’m hitting good and contributing to the team. It’ll be a one-inning game.”
Pujara was named vice-captain for the first Test against India in Kanpur, with Ajinkya Rahane taking over captaincy duties.
“Additional responsibilities can benefit you by allowing you to share your experience with younger people. Even when I am not vice-captain, I strive to communicate as much as I can about my experiences, with the ultimate focus on the Indian team “Pujara explained.
