Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2017: Test cricketer of the year

#4 Cheteshwar Pujara

India's rock at number three, Cheteshwar Pujara continued his prolific run of scores in 2017 as he piled up runs everytime he walked out to bat.

He shielded the middle order from the new ball and this allowed the Indian batting to plunder runs.

In the 18 innings he played in 11 matches, Pujara racked up 1140 runs at an astonishing average of 67.05.

Five half-centuries and four centuries also underline his consistent run and amazing conversion rate.

He will be a crucial member for the Indian side as they embark on their overseas season in 2018.
