New Delhi: Team India's star batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, who is called the new wall of India's Test team, was seen rolling over his arm and bowling some leg-spin for his team Sussex against Leicestershire in the County Championships Division 2 on Wednesday. Pujara did an over, in which he conceded a total of 8 runs and he did not get any success. Even no batsman was beaten because the ball was not spinning much. Sussex's official Twitter handle has also posted Pujara’s bowling video.

Pujara has bowled only one over in international cricket. The right-handed batsman, who has played 96 Test matches so far, has given 2 runs in an over. However, he has done some bowling in first-class cricket and has 6 wickets to his name in 21 innings.

It is worth noting that Pujara has done well in this season of county cricket. He scored four centuries in this county, including a double century. In the Edgbaston Test against England, Pujara scored 13 runs in the first innings and 66 runs in the second innings.

He has scored 6792 runs in 96 Tests at an average of 43.82. Pujara has scored 18 centuries, three double centuries and 33 half-centuries in his Test career. Apart from this, he has also played five ODIs, in which he has scored 51 runs.

The video of Pujara's bowling is going viral on social media. Some users claimed that India got another part-time spinner in the Test. This will help the Indian team a lot on foreign pitches because in England and Australia, team India usually takes the field with a spinner.
