Pujara recently returned home after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the suspension of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mid-way. BCCI's announcement came after the IPL bio-bubble was breached and several players tested positive for the virus.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli also received the first dose of the vaccine on Monday. The flamboyant batsman shared a picture of himself in his Instagram Stories and wrote, "Vaccinate as soon as you can please. Stay safe."
Ace Indian seamer Ishant Shamra and wife Pratima Singh also got vaccinated on Monday.
Ishant thanked the frontline workers for their services in these tough times.
"Vaccination Done. Thankful for this and grateful for all the essential workers. Happy to see the smooth running of the facility and management. Let's all get vaccinated at the earliest," Ishant wrote on Instagram along with a picture.
Last week, senior Indian batters Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan and pacer Umesh Yadav received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Pujara, Kohli, Ishant and Rahane will be next seen in action during the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand, which will be played in Southampton.
