In an engaging conversation with BBC Sport, India's test veteran Cheteshwar Pujara suggested his unique perspective on how the best Indian batter could be shaped with an outline produced by adopting technical blends from India's greatest cricketers.
This thoughtful remark made by Cheteshwar Pujara has sparked conversations among cricket pundits and fans.
Cheteshwar Pujara's outline for a perfect Indian Batsman
When asked about how dominant a batter should be against pace bowling, Cheteshwar Pujara rightly named the Indian master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar can be named the most fearless opponent against pace bowling in the Indian lineup.
From his fearless take on bouncy tracks of Australia to facing the wide range of the world's most quality pacers in Allan Donald, Shoaib Akhtar, Wasim Akram, and Glenn McGrath, he treated every batter with calculated aggression and a wide array of shots like uppercuts, straight drives and flicks of the wrists.
Defence vs Pace
Known for his high-quality technique, unshakeable patience and solid defence, Dravid was titled 'The Wall' of world cricket.
Known for his unforgettable stoic stays at the crease and ability to judge swingers, Dravid's defence has been recognized as the best by Cheteshwar Pujara.
Navjot Singh Sidhu had the special ability to dance down the track to hit spinners straight back over the bowler's head while also having an extensive ability to play spinners on the back foot.
Hence, to the surprise of many, Pujara's idealism of Sidhu's domination against spinners seems the perfect choice.

Mentality
Indian modern-day great Virat Kohli is known to be one of the strongest characters in Indian cricket. Known to have a champion's mindset, an undying focus and passion for the game, and a love for wins, his work rate and confidence make him one of the greatest thinkers in world cricket.
