Indian players KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal had taken on full opportunities while Cheteshwar Pujara didn’t make an impression on Day 1 of India vs South Africa in the 1st Test in centurion. Pujara has also been criticized a lot for his game in the past and he also had the chance to defy his detractors but he got out for a first-ball duck.

Cheteshwar Pujara had got an opportunity to prove himself but he failed to make a mark. With this, Cheteshwar Pujara’s duck meant that he has the most number of ducks by an Induan No.3 in Test cricket, leaving Dilip Vengsarkar behind.

Top 5 Indian players having the most amount of ducks

  • Cheteshwar Pujara – 9 ducks
  • Dilip Vengsarkar – 8 ducks
  • Rahul Dravid – 7 ducks
  • Mohinder Amarnath – 6 ducks
  • Ajit Wadekar – 5 ducks

Cheteshwar Pujara has a lot of pressure to retain his place in the Test squad. He has also got a hundred in the longest format of the game in the last 42 innings which is an Indian record for the batter number 3. His last 100 was in January 2019. Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas Iyer had an amazing game but Pujara will have to work hard a lot make his place stronger.

Pujara has traditionally struggled in South Africa averaging just 29 in 8 Tests against the Proteas. This year, the Indian No.3 has averaged just 28, while having an average of just 20 in 2020.
