The team’s decision was taken because of his injury, because in the first innings of the Test, the ball was hit to the right side during the batting, causing them to still be in pain. However, the good thing is that the injury is not too serious. Pujara scored 21 off 58 balls. After the dismissal of Shubman Gill, he made a decisive partnership of 85 runs for the second wicket with Rohit Sharma of the first century. Pooja was dismissed by Jack Leach to Ben Stokes.
