Prior to joining Sussex, Pujara played three Ranji matches for Saurashtra, scoring 91 in the first of those games against 41-time champions Mumbai. Pujara claims he knew “everything was back to normal” at that point.
“It’s about playing as many first-class games as possible, and I believe the experience was crucial for me. Because it’s important to have some long innings when you’re trying to get back into shape, find your rhythm, and focus. When I was playing for Sussex, I felt like my rhythm had returned after the first big knock against Derby. My focus improved, and everything began to fall into place “Pujara stated in a video posted on BCCI.tv.
“You must apply yourself if you want to perform well for your team. You learn so much when you play competitive cricket. But sometimes you need that experience, that time in the middle, and that was crucial.”
“Even at home, I was preparing for this. I had already joined the Sussex team. For Saurashtra, I played three Ranji Trophy games. Even so, I found my stride. I knew I was hitting well. It was all about racking up a big score. When I got that in my first game, I knew everything had returned to normal. I’m getting my bearings. Everything was going well with my backlift. After that, I just wanted to have fun with my game. Make an effort to contribute to the team’s success. The most important thing is to have fun on the field.”
