Saurashtra captain Jaydev Unadkat on Wednesday said winning the Ranji Trophy title will be a “perfect tribute” for his state’s cricket icon Cheteshwar Pujara on his upcoming 100th Test appearance.
Senior India batter Pujara, who made his Test debut in 2010, is set to play his milestone 100th Test against Australia in the second match of the Border-Gavaskar series in Delhi from Friday.

“I was there when he made his Test debut, I was a part of the team as well. I don’t see a lot of difference in his attitude and ethics. There can’t be a better way to give him a tribute [than winning Ranji title],” Unadkat said on the eve of their Ranji Trophy final against Bengal on Thursday. He said the Saurashtra trio of himself, Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja were keenly following the Ranji team while being at the national camp. “Even during our quarters and semis, we were following it keenly together. They wished the team all the luck. Hopefully we will make them proud with the cricket we play.”
