NEW DELHI : Cheteshwar Pujara does not fit into the popular image of a modern-day cricketer - the muscle-flaunting and social media-savvy lot - but is on the verge of a milestone that would be the stuff of dreams for most of them.

"Each and every player has different style. What I have learnt in all these years is - stick to your strengths," Pujara told reporters on Thursday.
His strike rate, 44.44, is occasionally debated but the fact that he is dismissed once every 99.4 deliveries makes him a long-form asset.
