Surely
Pujara v Australia. Surely a binge-worthy Netflix series. Amazing the number of times he’s come in the way of Australia when they’ve been on top. The greatest obstacle they’ve had to endure for more than a decade

Ravi Shastri did his special commentary voice for Pujara's six. It tells you a lot.
