5 most underrated cricketers at the moment

#1 Cheteshwar Pujara

Pujara was the difference between the two sides in the Border-Gavaskar trophy

Being left out of the playing XI because of his inability to play aggressive cricket, IPL snubs and questions about his record on overseas conditions have been the issues faced by Cheteshwar Pujara right throughout his career.

But the technically strong batsman has always fought back and proved all his critics wrong with his sheer determination and has scored heaps of runs in all conditions. Pujara was left out of the playing XI by skipper Virat Kohli due to his low strike-rate. However, he has been India's crisis man in the recent past and has bailed the team out from tricky situations.

Pujara has truly taken over from the legendary Rahul Dravid when it comes to blunting the opposition bowling-attacks. But unfortunately, he has had to fight for his place in the Indian team for most parts of his career.

However, this might change after his superlative performance in the series against Australia where Pujara proved to be the difference between the two sides by ending up being the highest run-getter of the series. Hopefully, this will put a full stop to questions about his technique and place in the Indian team.
