New Delhi. The month of June is going to be very important for Team India. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team has to face Australia in the final of the World Test Championship from June 7. This match is to be held on the swing pitch of England. Batting is not easy here. The team has been waiting for the ICC trophy for 10 years. In such a situation, Rohit, coach Rahul Dravid and BCCI do not want to leave any gap in the preparation. Meanwhile, Indian Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara has created a ruckus with the bat in England. This must have increased the concern of the Kangaroo team. Pujara has scored 8 centuries while playing for county team Sussex since 2022. It also includes 3 double centuries. Pujara can be made the new vice-captain of the Test team. Although Rishabh Pant, Jaspreet Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are out due to injury.

Cheteshwar Pujara, captaining the English county team Sussex, played an excellent inning of 77 runs in the first innings against Leicestershire. Playing for the team, Pujara could not touch the figure of 100 runs after scoring more than 50 runs for the first time. Australian veteran batsman Steve Smith is also playing from Sussex.
