Nasser Hussain said that Cheteshwar Pujara was a proper old-school No. 3 batsman, who did a great job for the India National Cricket Team over the years and protected the middle-order batters like Virat Kohli.
Pujara made his Test debut for the India National Cricket Team at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 9, 2010, against the Australia National Cricket Team.
The last of the Test purists, Pujara, played most of his matches - 94 - at No.3 spot and emerged as the ideal successor of the legendary Rahul Dravid.
Shubman Gill doesn't want to do it for India - Nasser Hussain
Speaking on the Sky Sports YouTube channel, Nasser Hussain praised Cheteshwar Pujara for doing the tough job for India and highlighted how the new-age Shubman Gill and Joe Root are reluctant to bat at No. 3 in Tests. He said:
"In our era, your No. 3 was your best player, whether it be Viv Richards, Ricky Ponting or Rahul Dravid. Not an easy position to do but Pujara did it as well as anyone."
He protected the middle order, with the likes of Kohli in there - Nasser Hussain
"Another one of the old school batters is gone. A bat for your life and over my dead body sort of batter that played the ball late and produced some great innings, especially in Australia. He was loved by Indian fans for playing like that. And he protected the middle order, with the likes of Kohli in there, from the new ball. Working with him, he's exactly like how he was when he batted. Very calm, quietly spoken and talks a lot of sense."
