Comparing Pujara To This Former Arsenal Star; Funny- The second Test match between England and India started off with a great first day for the visitors. Team India was asked to bat by Joe Root and they did not disappoint. Openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul played some really positive cricket. They dominated the English bowlers at Lords and took the game to the opposition. This gave their side the advantage over the English side.
However, Test cricket is a long and patient man’s game. Keeping that in mind, the first Indian wicket eventually fell at 216. In came, Cheteshwar Pujara, who had not been in form. He had a lot to prove and all eyes were on him. The whole nation of India was looking at the player for inspiration and to add to the already mammoth score, that had given the team the perfect start in a Test match.
What Happened When Cheteshwar Pujara Got Out And The Troll On Twitter Comparing Him To This Former Arsenal Star?
It is never easy to follow up on one of the best starts that a team can get in Test cricket. A 200+ score with no wickets lost is hard to beat. The same was the case with Pujara, who tried to continue from where Rohit Sharma had left off when Jimmy Anderson got him out.
He came in to bat at a crucial time, as it was the time to rebuild and continue. KL Rahul was looking as solid as ever. Despite that, Pujara couldn’t do much and eventually threw away his wicket. He became the second victim of some brilliant fast bowling by Anderson.
The shot was poor and the fans were unhappy. Amongst all the Twitter banter and trolls, one fan had a brilliant comparison. He compared the failing star to former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil. The ex-German international had a poor ending to his career at the Emirates. The Tweet that was sent out was just funny.
