Portsmouth: Former captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that Cheteshwar Pujara, who is currently playing County in England during the IPL, will be of great help to Team India. He said that Cheteshwar Pujara can give valuable advice to his Indian teammates ahead of the WTC final against Australia due to him playing in the English County Championship. Given Pujara’s knowledge of the conditions and experience of captaining (Sussex), his advice could be crucial. Australia’s star batsman Steve Smith plays for this county team. The WTC final is to be held at The Oval in London from June 7 to 11. Gavaskar said, “The fact that he has been there means he has seen how the pitch at The Oval is behaving.” He said, ‘He may not have played at The Oval, he may have been in Sussex which is not far from London but he would have kept an eye on what was going on there and as far as the batting unit or the captaincy is concerned. So his advice will be valuable.’
Gavaskar said, ‘Don’t forget that he has also captained the team (Sussex) so surely at this time he must have made some strategies by watching his teammate Steve Smith of Australia.’ Gavaskar said that after playing in the Indian Premier League, Indian batsmen will have to adjust their pace of swing ahead of the WTC final and advised the batsmen to play as late as possible.

He said, ‘ I think he will focus on his speed of swinging the bat. They are coming from T20 where the bat is swung very fast whereas in Test cricket the pace of bat swing is more controlled and in such a situation they will have to look at it.
