Middle order Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara reasserted his tag as the most dependable Indian batsman in tests, as he has scored another century today in the fourth test of the ongoing Border Gavaskar trophy held at Sydney. This turned out to be Pujara's 3rd century of this series, and his 18th overall century in tests.
Earlier India won the toss and elected to bat and as usual lost one opener KL Rahul soon, but Mayank Agarwal and Pujara forged a very crucial partnership. Mayank Agarwal scored his second fifty of the series, and was dismissed after scoring 77(112).
Pujara went ahead to complete his 18th century off 199 deliveries, and reached the mark with a spectacular boundary. Former Aussie bowler Brad Hodge had termed that though the difference between Aussies and India is Pujara, with his consistency and he ended the day unbeaten on a massive 130(250)* accompanied by Vihari. Cheteshwar Pujara also became first batsman in this series to face 1000 balls.
