Let us tell you that Pujara's father Arvind Pujara was his coach and he gave him the training to Cheteswar from the age of 7. Arvind never misses a chance to watch his son's batting but this time he was in the hospital when his son was playing one of the brilliant innings of his career. However, even after that, he could not be able to stop himself to know the score.
