With 5840 runs in the longest format of the game, Pujara has been a vital cog in the batting wheel of Team India when it comes to Test cricket. And he was India’s best batsman by far during their successful campaign in 2018-19, scoring more than 500 runs including 3 centuries to his name.
Meanwhile, Mayank Agarwal has also been named in all the three formats of the game and is coming off a brilliant IPL 2020, where he scored 424 runs with one century to his name at a good strike-rate. He was seen practicing for the white-ball matches, while Pujara was going against the red and pink ball preparing for the first-ever day-night Test between the two nations.
