NEW DELHI: Cheteshwar Pujara provided a new life to his dwindling Test career by breaking the century drought on the third day of the first Test against Bangladesh on Friday in Chattogram.
Pujara, who scored his last Test hundred in January 2019 against Australia in Sydney, brought up his 19th century off just 130 balls. It was also Pujara’s fastest Test century in his 97-match career.
The right-handed Pujara shifted the gears after scoring his half-century off 87 balls as his next fifty came from just 43 balls.

After making 90 in India’s first-innings 404, Pujara was unbeaten on 102 having smashed 13 fours with former skipper Virat Kohli 19 not out at the other end.
India declared their second innings at 258/2 to set Bangladesh a massive victory target of 513.
Earlier, Shubman Gill also hit his maiden Test century scoring 110 off 152 balls with the help of 10 fours and three sixes.
Bangladesh then navigated 12 overs successfully to reach 42-0 and reduced the deficit to 471 runs, with Najmul Hossain batting on 25 with Zakir Hasan on 17.
