Pujara's low strike rate was the reason for his failure in the IPL

The Saurashtra batsman who is often regarded as Indian cricket's next 'Wall' after Rahul Dravid had a torrid time in his short IPL stint.

Cheteshwar Pujara has played for the Kolkata Knight Riders, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kings XI Punjab. His IPL numbers are mediocre, 390 runs from 30 games at a strike rate of less than 100 with only one half-century.

Never a big striker of the ball, it was expected that Pujara would modify his game to adapt to the T20 format and emerge successful. However, it did not turn out that way and he finds himself out of favor in the IPL now. After being ignored for 4 straight years since 2015, it will be surprising if we see him again in the IPL.
