“It was special, I never felt that I will get to the three-figure mark in the second innings by tea break. I was close to 50, but I never realised there was enough time to get to the three-figure mark. It went really well, I have been practicing some shots that helped me this game. For me, the first innings was more special when I missed out on a hundred but it was important for the team,” Pujara said in a video shared by the BCCI.
