Cheteshwar Pujara made an important hundred on Day 2 of the third Test as India recovered from a batting collapse and reach a respectable score at stumps in Colombo.

Pujara, coming to bat as an opener, scored a terrific hundred in his comeback match and was batting on  135 when rain halted play.

Referring it as one of the most important hundreds of Pujara’s career, Twitter congratulated him.

Just caught the score. Yes! @cheteshwar1 . A top player and a fine man.

Comebacks are always tougher than debuts…add to that a difficult pitch & batting in an unfamiliar position. Pujara, you’re a star 👏👍🙏

Don’t think there should be any argument about Pujara’s place in this test side. Should never have been any argument in the first place.

Guess this hundred sort of guarantees Pujara’s place for the second innings! #SLvIND

Pujara’s case is that of a classical test batsman who’s sacrificed to favour a more flamboyant player. Story of Indian cricket. Not correct!
