Day 5, fourth innings, Gabba Test. Both India and Australia were eying the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Draw had taken the backseat. India needed less than 150 runs to win the match and clinch the historic series without the likes of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Ashwin or Jasprit Bumrah backing the side. Australia, on the other hand, needed 7 more wickets to wrap up the proceedings.
Then there was Cheteshwar Pujara. Braving one blow after the another. Aussie quicks were showing no mercy whatsoever. Pujara hung in there till he could, solid as a rock, stealing boundaries upon every opportunity that came his way. He was battered and bruised, yet he batted for over 200 deliveries.
