Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara, who plays Tests for his country but showed his critics in the Royal London One-Day Cup 2022 in England that he is capable of brisk batting, spoke about his favourite side in the ongoing Premier League during a conversation with some players of the league.
The 34-year-old batter, who slammed three tons and two half-centuries in just nine games in the limited-over tournament in England to finish as the second highest scorer with 624 runs, said Manchester United was his favourite team.
“If you ask me about my personal favorite, I used to follow Manchester United. Even in the Indian cricket team each player has their own team. But they follow the game, yeah, they love Football and even people back home wake up early to watch the Premier League,” Pujara, who has played 96 Tests for India, said.
