How shut was that on the projection???? 😱 Pujara must watch out, for the umpire has additionally seen it….and is perhaps extra eager to it giving it OUT subsequent time. Stepping out and never providing a shot vs Lyon….difficult immediately. #AusvInd— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) January 19, 2021
