Pujara went back to pavalion. No idea about his health. Not at all a good sign for has a decent opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Now Bengal must capitalize on the opportunity

Cheteshwar Pujara is definitely not feeling up to it and has walked off against Bengal after coming in at 6.

Big moment in the match

Cheteshwar Pujara is really struggling, that is why he came out to bat at No 6 presumably. And he is now walking off the field. Seems to be under the weather.
