Cummins Calls Pujara Toughest Indian Opponent After 2,074 Runs vs Australia

Pat Cummins says Cheteshwar Pujara is the toughest Indian bowler he's faced, citing Pujara's 2,074 runs and 49.38 average against Australia. The comment spotlights Pujara's legacy as a test stalwart and hints at how Australia may brace for future encounters.

Pat Cummins, Australian Test captain, just dropped a bomb in a Prime Video promo: Cheteshwar Pujara is the toughest Indian player he's ever faced.

Pujara rattled 2,074 runs on Aussie soil, averaging 49.38 from 25 Tests, with three centuries and a top score of 193.

The two Border‑Gavaskar series, 2018‑19 and 2020‑21, became a chess match where Pujara's patient resistance tested Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood.

Cummins also named Brendon McCullum, Saeed Ajmal, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle as his toughest from NZ, Pakistan, SA, and WI, respectively. With Pujara recently retired, the legend's legacy now sits in the record books, while Australia gears up for the next Ashes showdown.
