<p>Cheteshwar Pujara, the Indian stalwart is in the form of his life. He is making the English bowlers toil in the County Championship 2022. Pujara scored another double-ton on Wednesday and took his tally to 3 double-hundreds in 7 county games. He is enjoying a dream run. At the beginning of the game, Pujara was also named captain of the Sussex squad in the absence of their regular captain. Navdeep Saini and Washington Sundar were also impressive in their county debuts. Here is an in-depth look:</p>



<h2>Cheteshwar Pujara Plays for Sussex:</h2>



<p>The County Championship is one of the oldest and one of the most prestigious domestic trophies in English cricket. Over the years we have seen many Indians being picked to play county cricket. The legacy started with BS Bedi playing for Northamptonshire. Kapil Dev also went on to play for the same time. Later the legacy was followed. Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Kaif, Murali Karthik, and many other renowned Indian cricketers have had successful county stints. Ravichandran Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara are two top current Indian players with County stints.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Cheteshwar Pujara Scores Another 200, 3rd in 7 Games:</h2>



<p>Pujara is in the form of his life. He seems to be in love with the English conditions. He has been making the English bowlers work like laborers in the field. He hasn?t adopted the attacking approach. Just like he makes Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and Starc run in and bowl overs after overs after overs, he troubled the County bowlers too. Here is a look at the scores of Cheteshwar Pujara in the County Championship 2022:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Match&nbsp;</td><td>Cheteshwar Pujatra Scores</td></tr><tr><td>Sussex VS Derby</td><td>6 &amp; 201*</td></tr><tr><td>Sussex VS Worcester</td><td>109 &amp; 12</td></tr><tr><td>Susse VS Durham</td><td>203</td></tr><tr><td>Sussex VS Middlesex</td><td>16 &amp; 170</td></tr><tr><td>Sussex VS Leicestershire</td><td>3&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Sussex VS Leicestershire</td><td>46</td></tr><tr><td>Sussex VS Middlesex</td><td>231*</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>With these scores, Pujara is in top contention for being the highest run-getter in a county season. His availability is not a big question as the Indian national team doesn?t have any big games scheduled in the red-ball format. The current record for most runs goes to Marcus Trescothick who scored 1673 runs in 23 innings from 13 games. Here is a look a the top 5 run-getters with most county runs in one season:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Player</td><td>Runs</td><td>Season</td></tr><tr><td>Marcus Trescothick</td><td>1673 Runs</td><td>2011</td></tr><tr><td>Keaton Jennings</td><td>1548 Runs</td><td>2016</td></tr><tr><td>Adam Lyth</td><td>1509 Runs</td><td>2010</td></tr><tr><td>Kumar Sangakkara</td><td>1491 Runs</td><td>2017</td></tr><tr><td>James Hildreth</td><td>1440 Runs</td><td>2010</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Navdeep Saini And Washington Sundar Bag Fifers on County Debut:</h2>

<p>Navdeep Saini and Washington Sundar were also impressed with the ball in hand on their county debut. Navdeep Saini made his debut for Kent against Warwickshire. He grabbed a fifer and courtesy of his heroics Warwickshire is struggling to get to 250.?</p>



<p>Washington Sundar made his county debut for Lancashire. He also grabbed a fifer.?</p>

Cheteshwar Pujara Scores Another Double Ton in County 2022. Saini And Sundar Impress.&nbsp;

cheteshwar-pujara-scores-another-double-ton-in-county-2022-saini-and-sundar-impress

<p><strong>Warwickshire sign pacer Mohammad Siraj for last three county games: </strong>Young Indian pacer, Mohammad Siraj has been signed by the Warwickshire County team for the last three matches of the side in the ongoing county season. Siraj will be the sixth Indian player to feature in the County Championship this season after Cheteshwar Pujara (Sussex), Krunal Pandya (Warwickshire for Royal London Cup), Umesh Yadav (Middlesex), Washington Sundar (Lancashire) and Navdeep Saini (Kent).</p>



<p>Siraj is currently with the Indian ODI squad on the tour of Zimbabwe for three ODIs. Following the completion of India's Zimbabwe tour, Siraj is expected to head to Birmingham and join Warwickshire ahead of their home game against Somerset.</p>



<p>"Siraj is a fantastic addition to the squad and we can't wait to welcome him to Warwickshire. He is one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now and his knowledge and experience will help bring an added dimension to our line-up,? said Director of Cricket Warwickshire, Paul Farbrace.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>The Indian pacer said he is excited to join the Bears squad and thanked all involved parties for the opportunity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>"I can't wait to join up with the Bears squad," Siraj said. "I have always enjoyed playing in England with India and I'm excited to experience County Cricket.</p>



<p>"Edgbaston is [a] world-class stadium and the atmosphere it created this year for the Test was special. I'm really looking forward to making it my home in September and hopefully helping the Bears end the season well.</p>

<p>"I would like to extend my gratitude to both Warwickshire County Cricket Club and BCCI for this opportunity."</p>



<p>Notably, Mohammad Siraj has established himself as an Indian test mainstay player after making his debut on India?s last tour of Australia. Siraj played a key role in India?s triumph in the iconic Border Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21. He was the highest wicket-taker in the series among the visitors.</p>



<p>The speedster has featured in 13 test matches so far, picking 40 wickets at an average of 30.77.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Despite a fantastic start to his red-ball career, Siraj has seen a dip in his form lately. His last two test tours haven?t fetched him fruitful results and he will look to regain his prime form as he joins Warwickshire for three county games.</p>

Warwickshire sign pacer Mohammad Siraj for last three county games

warwickshire-sign-pacer-mohammad-siraj-for-last-three-county-games

<p>India?s Mohammed Siraj has been away from the spotlight in the Indian cricket scenario for quite some months now as everyone is focused on the shorter format games now (because of the upcoming T20 World Cup). However that has not stopped the test-specialist bowler from achieving new heights at what he does the best and thus he has reached yet another milestone today - not for the National team this time but in County cricket.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Indian pace bowler has finally made his County debut for Warwickshire. The match started yesterday on 12th September and will go on till 16th September. Today, Day 2 of the match was played and India?s Mohammed Siraj made a name for himself and proved his calibre to everyone by picking up 5 wickets in Somerset?s first innings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>His five victims in the first innings included Imam-ul-Haq, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bartlett_(cricketer)">George Bartlett</a>, James Rew, Lewis Gregory and Josh Davey. Many will remember that Washington Sundar, another Indian player, had picked up 5 wickets on his County debut as well, about 3 months ago and now Mohammed Siraj has repeated that record. Well, maybe it?s an ?Indian? thing to pick up fifers in County matches!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Mohammed-Siraj-and-Jayant-Yadav-1024x681.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-94226" /><figcaption>Jayant Yadav and Mohammed Siraj with their Warwickshire caps</figcaption></figure>



<p>Thanks to Mohammed Siraj?s performance, Warwickshire were able to restrict Somerset to a mere total of 219. As it now stands, they have scored 83/3 and trail by 134 runs. The match might go in any direction from here, to be honest. Another Indian player, Jayant Yadav is also playing alongside Mohammed Siraj in the Warwickshire team in this match.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mohammed Siraj is currently one of the best test bowlers in India. He has played 14 test matches so far and picked up as many as 40 wickets. He was one of the pivotal parts in many of India?s recent historical series wins and has a long way to go. He might soon become India?s best weapon in the longest format of the game.?</p>

<p>While all the other Indian batters are plying their trade in <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">the Indian Premier League </a>(IPL) 2023, India?s Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara is leaving no stone unturned to prepare himself for the World Test Championship Final. The batter has joined his county team Sussex and will be playing for them this season.?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cheteshwar Pujara smashes a staggering century for Sussex in their first match of the County Championship</strong></h2>

<p>Cheteshwar Pujara has kickstarted his county stint on a high as he smashed a staggering century for Sussex in their first game of the County Championship against Durham. The batter scored 115 runs and bailed his side out of trouble.?</p>



<p>He came to bat when his side was tumbling at 91/3. Pujara stepped for his side and smashed a blistering 115 runs knock to help his side post over 300 runs. He came to bat at No.4 and resurrected his side?s innings. The right-hander batted for 163 balls and smashed 13 fours and 1 six in his innings.?</p>

<p>Pujara ahead of the season was named as the captain of the Sussex and he kick-started his stint as a captain on high as well. Earlier in the game, Nathan McAndrew?s five-wicket haul helped the Indian batter side?s to bundle out the opposition for just 376 runs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Notably, Cheteshwar Pujara was the mainstay of the Sussex?s batting lineup as he batted staggeringly well for them in the last edition. He piled up 1,094 runs in the 8 games he played. His tally of 1094 runs also included three double centuries and finished the season with an average of 109.4.</p>



<p>Here?s the video of Cheteshwar Pujara?s ton for Sussex:?</p>

<p>The World Test Championship Final will take place between India and Australia at the Oval, England. The summit clash will be played from 7th to 11th June. Both the teams earned their spot in the final after their staggering show in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. With the final set to take place in England, the county stint will be beneficial for Cheteshwar Pujara as he will have an opportunity to get used to the English conditions.</p>



<p>?It?ll also be an opportunity for him to regain his form to the full extent. In the absence of Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer, Pujara will hold the key for India in the final. He played a decent role for India in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he scored 140 runs in six innings at an average of 28.00.</p>

<p>The Chennai Super Kings skipper in the IPL, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruturaj_Gaikwad" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad</strong></a>, has landed a contract with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_County_Cricket_Club"><strong>Yorkshire</strong></a> in the ongoing English domestic season in 2025. He will join the County Championship for the game against Surrey, which is scheduled to begin on July 22.</p>
<p>The right-handed batter is not only set to star in the County Championship but will also follow with starring in the One Day Cup as well. This development followed India A's move to England, which also includes Ruturaj Gaikwad. </p>
<p>The 28-year-old batter is part of the India A Squad, though he has been out of any form of competitive cricket for the last two months as he was out with an elbow injury. He is expected to star against India on the 13th of June, as Team India and India A are expected to play a friendly match in Beckenham. </p>
<p>https://x.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1932362820827640120</p>
<h2>Ruturaj Gaikwad is now part of an elite list of Indian players to have played for Yorkshire:</h2>
<h3>1. Sachin Tendulkar [1992]</h3>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202506/image_430x256_684816393a405.jpg" alt="The 'Little Master' for Yorkshire in 1992" width="808" height="503"></p>
<p>The little master, the greatest of greats in world cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, was the first overseas batter to have starred for Yorkshire in the English County side. Aged just 19 in 1992, Tendulkar had a stunning debut season as he smashed 1070 runs playing 16 games in the season. </p>
<p>Overall, the master batter has 1671 runs in 35 matches across all formats, including two centuries.  </p>
<h3>2. Yuvraj Singh [2003] </h3>
<p>The second Indian to have made his impact in English county cricket, playing for Yorkshire. Known as one of the greatest white-ball batters for India, Yuvraj played for Yorkshire in 2003, though he had a terribly bad season in the county as well as the National Cricket League. </p>
<p>His only prominent stint came in the Twenty20 Cup for Yorkshire, though his experience in England seemed a forgettable stint in his career. </p>
<h3>3. Cheteshwar Pujara [2015 &amp; 2018]</h3>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202506/image_430x256_6848164670b4d.jpg" alt="Pujara is the most succesful Indian player in County Cricket" width="755" height="470"></p>
<p>Another legendary batter when it comes to Test cricket, Cheteshwar Pujara, has played for four different County teams in his career. He made his debut back in 2014. He first starred for Derbyshire and then played for Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Sussex from 2022 to 2024, his best seasons in the county.</p>
<p> Pujara has starred for several County sides and piled on runs, though he has seen some significant dips in form at times as well; however, his best season with Yorkshire came in 2015, as he was part of their third title-winning side. </p>
<p>However, Pujara's success has been inevitable with the bat while he starred in a full season for Sussex. Pujara has scored an amazing 21,301 runs in his first-class career. </p>
