India’s Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara on Monday (June 22) stepped out on the field after a lengthy hiatus due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Pujara uploaded a couple of pictures on Instagram, in which he can be seen holding a bat in his hand having donned all the protective gears.
“Back at it...felt like a long time away but just as i took the stance felt as if it was yesterday,” he wrote in the caption.

Even though the central government and sports ministry have given a go-ahead signal for sportspersons to resume training at empty stadiums, the Indian cricket team is yet to hit the ground running with a proper national camp because of some of the travelling restrictions that are still in place.
Moreover, there is still no clarity about the resumption of cricket in India. However, one thing is certain that Team India will tour Australia later this year to play four Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is.
Given that Pujara only plays the longest format, he will be seen in action during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy down under, starting December 3 at Gabba.
