00:00johannesburg 2013 it's a very young
00:08Indian side and Cheteshwar Pujara is
00:10batting at number three he's up against
00:12Steyn and Philander and they're moving
00:14the ball around his first 50 balls he
00:17only makes six the next 50 he makes 25
00:20in fact at one stage he's only made nine
00:23of his first 64 deliveries but that is
00:25vintage Pujara isn't it he ups the
00:28scoring rate as he goes along the next
00:30hundred balls he makes 95 this 153 from
00:34Cheteshwar Pujara was as good as he's
00:36ever batted
00:39it's got that away back on the square on
00:42the offside for four with a particular
00:45field placing that Gransom's got going
00:47now Jacques-Arles needs to go very
00:49straight so this last delivery was just
00:51too wide outside of Stam
00:5850 for Pujara they're very good and
01:03important 50 it's been
01:04Dismissed with disdain four runs good shot

01:45deserved a round of applause from this
01:48crowd that's gathered and his teammates
01:49for well-compiled innings assessed
01:53conditions pretty well and that's how he
01:55got to his hundred it was a hard
01:56volley and it was the perfect way to get
01:59there a well-executed cover drive
02:04through the nervous 90s pretty quickly
02:15it's very well played football
02:19that's one of his greatest strengths his
02:21ability to play so late even when he
02:24defends he's watching the ball like a
02:26hawk look how late he plays this
02:28waits and waits and takes it off the
02:31wicket keepers loves literally we're
02:37quicker that time that's the slider but
02:39it's a slid off the bat and that's gone
02:41for four that's what they've done so
