After his defiant knock in the first day at Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara credited the time he spent with Yorkshire as according to him, the experience in England made him a more rounded player.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying county cricket has helped me a lot, and playing in England conditions are always challenging and when you come to Australia you know that it is slightly better,\u201d Pujara said.<\/p>\n
The Indian was quite a popular character in the Yorkshire dressing room, where he was nicknamed Steve. Former Australian spinner Shane Warne revealed the reason for this rather strange nickname.<\/p>\n
Taking to Twitter Warne wrote: Terrific innings from Pujara or \u201cSteve\u201d as the Yorkshire men called him as they couldn\u2019t pronounce his first name Cheteshwar ! Congrats on a great 100<\/p>\n
Pujara has had two stints as an overseas player for county side Yorkshire, in 2015 and again during the recent English summer. He has also appeared for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was one of my top innings in Test cricket, I could say top five. I can\u2019t rate whether it was one of the best but the teammates who were appreciating said that this is one of the best,\u201d Pujara said about the innings after the day\u2019s play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
