The Indian Test specialist, Cheteshwar Pujara is making the best use of his time away from the game. The India batsman, who has been spending time with his family and friends during the lockdown, revealed a new look on social media. Dressed in a pink shirt and blue trousers, Pujara sported a well-groomed beard.
Cheteshwar shared the look on social media and titled his Instagram post: “Appreciation & Gratitude”. While Pujara was flooded with thumbs up for his new look, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli was certainly impressed. “What a look pujji,” Kohli wrote as reply to Pujara’s photo. “Inspired by you skip,” Pujara responded.
