About this episode
In the modern all-out-attack game, Cheteshwar Pujara is a throwback to the days when blocking your way to stumps was a prized quality in a batter. His hang-in-there-at-all-costs spirit has been vital to India's most famous series wins: in Australia in 2018-19 and in 2020-21. In this interview hosted by Grace Hayden, Cheteshwar and his wife, Puja, the couple talk about the demands on a player's family, Puja's book about the experience of being a cricketer's wife, and the 2021 Brisbane Test in which Cheteshwar persevered despite a broken finger and bruises from bouncers to help India to a historic win.
