India’s rock of batting Cheteshwar Pujara is known for his long stints at the crease with the bat. No one can forget his 500 plus minutes of vigil against Australia in 2017.
He was the biggest reason apart from Indian bowling attack as Virat Kohli-led side won their maiden Test series win in Australia, given his three centuries and over 500 runs in the four-match sojourn, which India won 2-1.

However, at this moment, all sporting activities have come to a halt due to the Coronavirus pandemic and this meant even Pujara has to find some other way to entertain himself inside the confines of his home. This led to Pujara sharing a photo on Instagram with a caption reading, “The thing I miss the most in this lockdown is being on the cricket field.”

This led to some of his teammates trolling him with Shikhar Dhawan saying, "Sachi humein toh pata hi nahi tha ki tu cricket miss kar Raha hai. Wah (Really? We didn't know you are missing cricket. Wow)."
"Yes, we know that Pujara," opener Murali Vijay commented while Umesh Yadav left a laughing emoji.
Pujara was supposed to play for Gloucestershire for their first six matches in England's County Championship, but the deal was canceled due to ECB suspending all cricket until May 28 due to COVID-19.
