Summary:
Kanpur, Nov 23 (PTI) It wasn"t an alteration in technique but a fearless approach that has brought the joy back in batting for Cheteshwar Pujara, who won"t put undue pressure of performance on himself.
Pujara insisted that not having a Test hundred in three years doesn"t perturb him as long as his 80s and 90s are coming in winning causes.
Did he think that his aggressive approach in England Tests after facing criticism for "lack of intent", helped him? "Yes, I feel so.
When it comes to performing, the mindset was a little different but when it comes to technique I don"t think there was a major change in technique.
It was just the approach and I was a little fearless which helps," Pujara answered to a query from PTI ahead of team"s training session.
He did admit in a roundabout manner that he was putting too much pressure on himself earlier, which has changed since he scored 91 and 61 at Leeds and Oval at a decent clip.
