Benefitting from an umpiring howler, Cheteshwar Pujara put Saurashtra on the brink of victory with an unbeaten hundred but walked out of the ground amidst 'cheater' boos in the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Karnataka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here yesterday.

Pujara hit his 49th first-class hundred and shared an unconquered 201-run fourth-wicket stand with Sheldon Jackson (90) to help his side end the fourth day at 224-3, just 55 runs away from victory.
