Pujara lost the grip of the bat while returning to the crease and got run-out.
India batsman Cheteshwar Pujara got out in an unfortunate manner during the third day of the second Test against England. He came out to tackle Moeen Ali's delivery but lost grip of the bat while returning to the crease.
Pujara had comfortably put his bat inside the crease on time, but he couldn't keep a hold on his bat. He even tried to put his foot inside the crease but it seems to be too late as Ollie Pope at short-leg threw the ball quickly to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes who dislodged the bails.
The 33-year-old was India's first dismissal on day three and he could only contribute 7 runs in the second innings.

India scored 156/6 runs with captain Virat Kohli batting on 38* and R Ashwin 34* till the Lunch break on the third day.
