Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has blamed India's lack of middle-order depth, shortage of quality all-rounders and poor fielding for the team's forgettable T20I tour of England.

Standout performances of Cheteshwar Pujara's exemplary Test career came in Australia but the former India number three, who was recently honoured with the MCC life membership, says he only got the home away from home feeling in England.

New Delhi, June 30 (IANS) Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes Shreyas Iyer has the leadership qualities to guide India in the upcoming T20I series in England but says the new captain’s biggest examination will come with the bat.

The spotlight is no longer unknown to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. From the day he scored the fastest century by an Indian in IPL 2025, the world has taken note of Sooryavanshi

The player has scored only 44 runs at an average of 6.29 and a strike rate of 74.58.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, has been tipped to make his senior India debut after IPL 2026.

Cheteshwar Pujara expressed surprise that Rishabh Pant has struggled to leave his mark on the shortest format.

Speaking on Star Sports, Pujara highlighted Holder's contributions with both bat and ball, underlining how the West Indies all-rounder had influenced the outcome of the high-pressure encounter.

Former India cricketers Cheteshwar Pujara and Sanjay Bangar believe IPL 2026 has redefined T20 batting.

Former Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara hailed Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his fearless approach and said, "It's pure cinema" watching the 15-year-old prodigy bat.
