Sydney: Australia pacer Pat Cummins, after performing his best on the third day of the third Test against India, said his team was committed to making the situation "as difficult as possible" for Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara even before the start of the four-match series.
It is noteworthy that Pujara's requirement in this series is being criticized more defensively than the game requires. In fact, in response to Australia's first innings of 338 runs, team India lost their rhythm in the 176-ball 50-run innings. "Today I got a little help from the pitch," Cummins said after the day's play. But you know Pujara is a player you have to bowl too much." This number one bowler of the Test rankings took five wickets with Pujara out, spending only 29 runs. Pujara became the victim of Cummins for the fourth time in the fifth innings of the current series.
Pujara had batted best on the last tour of Australia, but he has not looked comfortable on the current tour so far. "We had planned for the series to make runs as hard as possible," Cummins said. He played 200 balls or 300 balls, we'll challenge him by putting the good ball. Luckily, the scheme has been successful so far," he said.
