The ability to take 20 wickets is not that good in indian team: cheteshwar pujara

"We will have to think about that, because if you want to win a Test match, then you have to take 20 wickets, and the ability to take 20 wickets is not that good, the supporting role of

the other bowlers is not good, so we will have to improve that as soon as possible, and how that will be, I don't know, but that is a big question." With the exception of opener

KL Rahul, the top-order batting has also been a big letdown so far in the series, and Pujara said it has got to do a lot with their inability to see off Mitchell Starc's initial spells

with the new ball. "He has been the best bowler for them in this series. And the way Mitchell Starc has played in the last 1 to 1.5 years, he has brought a lot of improvement. And he

has a lot of ability." "If I talk about my personal experience, when he used to play in the last series in 2018 or 2021, I used to feel that if he plays against me, I will get

runs." "And now, it feels like he will take wickets. So what is the difference? The difference is that his line length, his accuracy has increased a lot. He is bowling very less

loose deliveries. He is playing on the stump. Every ball is hitting on the good length spot. He is getting swing." Starc has so far taken 14 wickets in the series, the most by an

Australian bowler and only behind Bumrah across two teams. Pujara observed, "The change he has brought in his game has made him a different player. And he is looking more dangerous than

Cummins and Hazlewood. So we will have to take care of his game, especially from the new games." "In the first five overs, his first spell, he has taken the most wickets there. So

if there is a good batting in the first five overs, bring him for the second or third spell. Because he gets tired. So the batting of the top order so far, our top order has never played in

the third or fourth spell." "The ones who have played are the lower middle order and the tail enders. And there we saw that when Bumrah and Akash were batting, when Mitchell Starc

was bowling, he was not that effective. So they will have to play their new game well."
