After playing for India in the one-off Test against England at Edgbaston, Cheteshwar Pujara rejoined his county team Sussex for the second division of the County Championship. 

The right-hander had a decent outing with the bat in his comeback match as he scored 46 runs and helped his side to post a big first innings total of 588 runs on the board. 

While over the years Pujara has impressed many with his batting, this time he surprised many with the ball. The Indian batter displayed his bowling skills against Leicestershire as he bowled an over of leg-spin.

Although he didn’t take any wicket, he conceded 8 runs in his over. Sussex Cricket was quick to upload the video of Pujara's bowling on their Twitter account and captioned it: “An over of @cheteshwar1 bowling,”

Here’s the video: 

However, this was not the first time Pujara bowled. He had bowled 42 overs in First-Class and also has 6 scalps under his belt. The 34-year-old has also bowled 1 over in Test cricket.
