A case for an Indian cricketer who's not Raina or Rohit - but Che Pujara.

by Gaurav Sethi

This video was shot on Che Pujara's birthday, 25th January, 2012, but much like Che, it was forgotten for a while.  

Notes: 
Raina's First Class average 43 (71 matches), Rohit's 63 (46 mat), Kohli 50 (38 mat), Manoj Tiwary 61 (54 mat), Che Pujara 53 (61 mat); all players 23-26 years. 

FC averages of Rohit and Tiwary are quite similar. Who's played how many ODIs?

Raina has played 143 ODIs, 15 Tests, intl. debut in 2005.  Avg. 34.3, 29.5     7500 fb likes
Rohit has played 77 ODIs, 0 Tests, intl. debut in 2007.      Avg. 33.1   -           2900 fb likes
Kohli has played 82 ODIs, 8 Tests, intl. debut in 2008.     Avg. 47.5, 32.7      18,500 fb likes
Tiwary has played 6 ODIs, 0 Tests, intl debut in  2008.   Avg. 33   -                753 fb likes
Che Pujara 0 ODIs, 3 Tests, intl. debut in 2010.               -         21.4             488 fb likes   


Rohit 77 ODIs to Tiwary's 6, again similar averages.

The marketing of Che has started in earnest, WSG (World Sports Group) who tango with Tendulkar and Gambhir, have signed him up. I won't be too surprised if he makes the Asia Cup squad. Who knows, Manoj Tiwary may even get a game. And another concert for Bangladesh with George Harrison.
