Puja expected a century from Cheteshwar Pujara

Puja cheered on for her husband Cheteshwar Pujara as he notched up his ninth Test ton in Rajkot against England yesterday

Rajkot: The Pujaras in the stands were ecstatic when Cheteshwar Pujara (nicknamed Chintu), the most illustrious member of the family completed his century against England yesterday.

"I was expecting a century from him in the first ever Test in Rajkot. I'm happier not just because he has scored a fine hundred but because it has come at a time when India was up against a mammoth England first innings total," said the centurion's wife Puja on the third day of the first Test against England.
