Top five gutsy Test knocks of Pujara

Pujara against Australia

#1 92 v Australia at Chinnaswamy, Bangalore in 2017

Under Virat Kohli, India became a ruthless side with dominant series wins against New Zealand, Bangladesh(One Test) and England. But Australia stunned the Asian giants at Pune to take 1-0 lead in the four-match series. Even in first innings at Bangalore, they were bundled out for 189 and Australia had a crucial 87-run lead on a spinning Chinnaswamy pitch. With the pressure of losing the Border-Gavaskar Series, he stitched a 118-run partnership with Rahane to post a decent target for the visitors to chase. With Ashwin's six-wicket haul, India bundled the Aussies for 112 to win the Test by 75 runs. From then on India got momentum and they went onto win the series 2-1. This is one of the best series in recent times and it was Pujara's gritty 92 that swung the series in India's favour.
