India’s ‘rock’ Cheteshwar Pujara is known for patient and crucial batting when facing some of the fiercest bowlers in international cricket, but his aggressive approach was evident when he hit the nets at Chennai Super Kings’ camp ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.

A video posted on Twitter showed Pujara smashing sixes on all sides against net bowlers.

Check it out here:

Twitterati were impressed with Pujara’s shots, which he batted with a higher lift. A few Twitter users also noted the change in his stance and hoped he would do well in the upcoming IPL.

Pujara last played an IPL match in 2014. He is more of a Test specialist for India and does not feature in the national team for the 50-over and T20 format.

The 33-year-old was picked up by CSK for his base price of Rs 50 lakh in the mini-auction held in February.
