We have learnt from our mistakes in 2014: Pujara
Becoming just the fourth India team to win a Test series in England would be special, Cheteshwar Pujara has said. India have historically struggled on English soil, with a 1-0 victory after three matches in 2007 just the third time they won a Test series as tourists. “It would mean a lot to us. To win a Test series in England is something I look forward to, all the Indian players look forward to,” said Pujara.
“Many guys (in the squad) have been here in 2014, so they will definitely learn from their mistakes. If we improve on those areas, then definitely we have a good chance of winning the series.”
Pujara highlighted the strides India have made but acknowledged the challenge posed by going up against Joe Root’s men.
He said: “I think Indian cricket has improved. We have played good cricket, even overseas we had a good series against South Africa. We didn’t win that series, but we competed really well and that gave us a lot of confidence.
“Our fast bowling has improved. We have worked on a few things, especially in 2017 when we started winning in Asia. We started our process, we became number one and that is when we decided that if we want to remain number one, we have to really work hard.
“We have to start winning away from home and the guys have realised the things they need to do to be successful away from home.”
