2nd Test - Australia v India: Day 3
Pujara has been in brilliant nick right through the series

How Sri Lanka will break the impenetrable wall called Cheteshwar Pujara or 'Che' is a mystery. Such has been the flair and class Pujara has displayed in Sri Lanka that he alone seems more than sufficient to bury the hosts.

They tried pace, medium-pace and spin against him but the only trick that seemed to work was the dibbly-dobbly deliveries of Karunaratne. Given his innocuous bowling, the dismissal can only be termed as a lapse of concentration from the no.3 batsman. If Sri Lanka get past Pujara, they can harbour hopes of winning the game.
