Cheteshwar Pujara is considered by many as the next "Rahul Dravid" of India due to his resistance on the crease, strong and solid technique, good footwork, ability to leave the ball outside the off-stump and play the ball on its merits.

Unlike Dravid who went on to score 1166 runs in 32 innings which includes a double century at Adelaide in 2003, Pujara hasn't scored a hundred till now "Down Under."

In 6 innings, Pujara has scored only 201 runs at an average of 33.50. His highest score in Australia so far has been 73. The problem with his is that he is not a great puller of the ball as was evidenced in the recently concluded Test series in England. Hence, Australia will look to take advantage of this and keep targetting the short pitch length while bowling to Pujara.
