[WATCH] Cheteshwar Pujara falls for a duck in his 100th Test match

Cheteshwar Pujara failed to score a single run in the first innings of his 100th Test match. The Indian batsman was pinned in front of his stumps by Nathan Lyon in the 20th innings on Saturday in Delhi.

Lyon bowled a long ball around the wicket. The ball hit Cheteshwar Pujara’s pads and the Australian team appealed for LBW. Field umpire Nitin Menon stated that he was not out, but the Australians requested a review.

The review scored three reds, with the ball bowled in line, the impact in line and the wickets striking. Menon annulled the decision and Cheteshwar Pujara returned to the pavilion.

Pujara played six point balls before Nathan Lyon bagged his wicket. Fans had high hopes for the Indian batsman in his 100th Test match, but he failed to play a great innings in his special game.
