Indian star Cheteshwar Pujara, who’s presently representing Sussex in the continued Royal London Cup 2022, exhibited his explosive avatar during a sport in opposition to Warwickshire on Friday.
The Sussex skipper lit up the Edgbaston floor in Birmingham with his not-so-likely harmful batting. Pujara clobbered 22 runs in an over en path to his scintillating 107 off 79 balls in an exciting contest.
It all occurred during the forty fifth over of Sussex’s chase when Pujara took medium pacer Liam Norwell to the cleaners, hitting three fours and a six.
Here is how the over went:
44.1: Norwell to Pujara, FOUR, batter stepped outdoors off-stump to flick over tremendous leg.
44.2: Norwell to Pujara, 2 runs, full supply outdoors off, Pujara dragged it in the direction of the sq..
44.3: Norwell to Pujara, FOUR, an excellent size ball drifting down the leg, flicked by the batter to tremendous leg.
44.4: Norwell to Pujara, 2 runs, full toss, a mistimed shot over additional cowl.
44.5: Norwell to Pujara, SIX, one other full toss, and Pujara slapped it over long-off.
44.6: Norwell to Pujara, FOUR, full supply on the pads and batter performed it over mid-off.

Despite the heroic effort with the bat, Pujara couldn’t take the staff residence as Sussex fell in need of a 311-run goal, dropping to Warwickshire by 4 runs with Indian all-rounder Krunal Pandya choosing up 3/51. With two wins and as many losses, Sussex sit on the sixth spot in the staff standings of Group A, headed by Middlesex. Warwickshire, then again, are in the highest 4.
