4 Indian players you might not know have won an ICC award

#3 Cheteshwar Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara has done well for India at No. 3.

After the disastrous tour of Australia back in 2012, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman decided to hang up their boots. Everyone knew that the voids left by these greats would not be easy to fill. While Laxman's substitute still eludes the Test team, Dravid's shoes have been ably filled by Cheteshwar Pujara.

With loads of patience that he shows at the wicket and a textbook style of batting, Pujara always seemed to be Dravid's worthy successor. He stepped quietly on the Test scene after Dravid's retirement and plundered more than 2500 runs at an average greater than 75 in 2012 and 2013. Given he was still new to international cricket while he amassed those runs, the ICC recognized him as an emerging talent. At the ICC Awards in 2013, he was awarded the 'Emerging Cricketer of the Year' trophy.
