India batter Cheteshwar Pujara continued his rich vein of form in the ongoing Royal London One-Day Cup as he slammed his third hundred of the competition for Sussex on Tuesday (August 23).

After smashing centuries against Warwickshire and Surrey, Pujara has how decimated the Middlesex bowling attack at the County Ground in Hove. The right-hander came to bat No. 4 and notched up his ton in just 75 balls.

After reaching the century, Pujara continued his carnage and went on to score 132 runs off 90 balls (20 fours and 2 sixes) before getting out to Max Harris in the 45th over.

During the course of his innings, Pujara was involved in a 240-run stand with opener Tom Alsop, who top-scored for Sussex with 189 runs from 155 balls with 19 fours and 5 sixes.

Thanks to their dazzling hundreds, Sussex piled up a mammoth 400/4 in their stipulated 50 overs.

As of now, Cheteshwar Pujara is the second-highest run-scorer in the Royal London One-Day Cup 2022, having amassed 614 runs from eight matches at an average of 102.33 and a strike rate of 116.28 with three centuries and two fifties to his name.
