When a Pujara’s innings inspire your inner philosopher!

Pujara is like a person who walks into a bank without an Aadhaar number.
Just can't open his account.

Someone was kind enough to spare a though for the poor man’s family too!

And then Harsha Bogle summed up while explaining the significance of the innings!

Abstinence lent strength to India. Without Pujara's 50 and his numbing of the bowling, India would have been looking at a more meagre total
