-India's first innings hero Cheteshwar Pujara on Thursday conceded that the top-order should have batted better on day one of the first Test against Australia.
+Cheteshwar Pujara has always been touted as Rahul Dravid's replacement since the time senior batsman retired from the Test cricket in 2012 but he has often been criticised for not being upto the mark outside the Indian subcontinent.
-Pujara's 16th Test hundred and first in Australia helped India recover to 250-9 at stumps, after they had been reduced to 127-6 at one stage.
+Pujara may find his name behind Dravid when the comparisons are drawn between the two batsmen but when it comes to statistics the 30-year-old is at par with his senior pro.
-"We should have batted better but they also bowled well in the first two sessions. I knew that I had to stay patient and wait for the loose balls. The way they bowled, they bowled in the right areas. I also felt that our top order should have batted better but they will learn from the mistakes," he said on Thursday.
+Puajra bailed India out of trouble with his maiden hundred in Australia on the first day of the first Test in Adelaide. He compiled a patient 123 in hot and difficult conditions to help India 250/9 at stumps.
-"Hopefully we will bat well in the second innings. As far as my innings is concerned, I had prepared well and overall I have the experience of first-class and Test cricket and that came in handy today," he said.
+In the process, Pujara has emulated Dravid's feat of reaching 5000 Test runs in 108 innings. It is only a coincidence that Pujara had also taken the same number of innings as Dravid to get to 3000 runs (67 innings) and 4000 Test runs (84 innings).
-Pujara put on vital partnerships with R Ashwin and Ishant Sharma in the end, as the Australian pacers tired. He opened up and played a few more shots to take India to what the batsman ascertained to be a competitive total.
+{| border="1"
-He added that the wicket wasn't as easy to bat on, and that he needed to take a lot of time to play his shots, which again reflected poorly on how the Indian top-order batted on Thursday.
+Pujara showed the grit and gumption that is typical of him en route a 246-ball 123 that kept India in the game after being reduced to 127 for six in the 50th over.
-"It has to be different because when you are batting with the tail, you never know how long can they bat. You have to take your chances but you can't do the same when you are batting with a (top order) batsman. When you are just 1 or 2 down, you can't play the same shots.
+It took a brilliant direct from Pat Cummins to remove him on what happened to be the final ball of an absorbing day one of the four-Test series.
-"Also, the difference is, I had batted for two sessions and I knew what the pace and bounce of the pitch was. I was set, so I could play my shots. I was a bit disappointed but I had to take that single because only last two balls were left and I wanted to be on strike. I took the chance but Pat Cummins fielded brilliantly," he said of run out on what turned out to be the final ball of the day.
+He also ranked his gritty hundred among the top five of his 16 centuries in the longest format. "It (Thursday's knock) is one of my top innings in Test cricket, I could say top five. I can't rate if it was one of the best but the teammates were appreciating, they were saying it was one of the best," Pujara said.
-Pujara feels 250 is a decent first innings total, considering the conditions.
+This was the second overseas hundred for Pujara this year, after his effort in Southampton against England. He also scored fighting half-centuries in the two Test wins at Johannesburg (against South Africa) and Nottingham (against England).

-"I would say it is a decent total because there is enough turn. Ashwin will also come into play. It is not an easy wicket to bat on. Sometimes when you are seeing it on TV, it doesn't look like it is doing a lot. But when I batted in the first and second sessions, I felt it wasn't easy to bat on and with our fast bowlers, I will share my experience of what line and length to bowl on this pitch.
-−
-"It is the grass. The odd ball is skidding on and the odd ball is holding a bit more from the grass. I would say it is kind of a two pace and it is not easy to bat."
-−
-Pujara is not known for hitting sixes but it is something he prepared for ahead of the series.
-−
-"To be honest, when I was preparing back home, I was working on a few shots and that was one of them. I wasn't surprised that I hit it for a six because I had worked on it back home. I had to obviously bat for two sessions to realise that these are the shots I could play and there were some shots which I had to avoid," he said.

 Pujara has parked himself in England well in advance, and been picking Joe Root’s brains too. Now he must look within and rediscover his strengths. If he can reprise some of that innate old-world resilience, everyone’s favourite batting anachronism will have done his duty.
