Cheteshwar Pujara
Pujara is the highest run scorer in test matches in 2017 so far. The right-hander has been compared to Rahul Dravid for his consistency and dogged approach. He has strung many long partnerships with the likes of Virat Kohli, Murali Vijay, and Shikhar Dhawan to put India in dominant positions in Test matches.
Pujara has great numbers to show in 2017. He has scored 1,140 runs in 18 innings at an average of 67.05, including 4 centuries and 5 half-centuries. His highest score this year of 202 came against Australia at Ranchi on the 16th of March. Pujara has 3 double-centuries to his name so far.
Pujara will bat at number 3 for my side.
