Reverse Sweep Wouldn’t Have Suited My Game, Says Pujara
Cheteshwar Pujara: Former Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara admitted that attempting modern attacking shots like the reverse sweep would not have suited his batting style, saying it could have cost him his wicket in Test cricket.
“Ravi bhai, if I had played such a shot in a Test match, I wouldn’t have been able to score runs. All three of my stumps would have been knocked over, because it was very difficult for me to execute that shot,” Pujara told Jio Hotstar.
The remark came during a light-hearted exchange with former India head coach Ravi Shastri, who joked about how Pujara might have reacted if asked to practise the reverse sweep earlier in his career.
