His father told the story of how India batter Cheteshwar Pujara got through traumatic experiences when he was young.
One of the best Test batsmen of his generation, Cheteshwar Pujara, reached a career milestone that few could even fathom.
Pujara will represent India in the upcoming 100th Test, which is being played against Australia. After all, Pujara has not changed much throughout his life, and he is well-known for his determined approach in the middle of the 22-yard pitch.
Senior Pujara’s father narrated a moving account of how the Indian batsman overcame difficult circumstances at a young age without letting them ruin him.
Pujara was supposed to go back home after the Saurashtra match ended early. When the right-handed batter forgot he had last spoken to her, he was on his way to see her mother.
“I still remember the day Reena left us. After her chemotherapy had ended and she appeared to be getting better, this happened.
In Bhavnagar, Chintu was playing in a game for under-19s. Because we were moving houses, my wife said she would rest at a relative’s house.
“Chintu called his mother around two in the afternoon to inform her that he would be returning that evening because the Saurashtra team had lost early.
Reena had what is known as a “lightning heart attack” within a few hours. She was unable to transition from the diwan to the bed because of how quickly it occurred.
“We were a group of two when Chintu arrived home,” Arvind acknowledged. My wife, his mother, and the center of our lives had all left this world.”
Even Pujara’s father had a heart attack a few years later, but by God’s grace, he fully recovered.
Years later, Chintu would be brought back to that awful day. While he was recovering at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, I had a heart attack.
I was lying in bed when my heart began to beat quickly that day. to the point where it sounded like a drum pounding. When I contacted Nirbhay Shah, my family physician, I inquired.
What happens to a person when they have a heart attack? Because he knew me well, he asked me where I was. ” Arvind stated, “Dr. I was taken to a hospital after Shah rushed home.”
According to him, “He called Chintu and told him I had been admitted to a hospital.” When he was on the plane, it was easy to guess what he was thinking.
He wasn’t sure whether the doctor was being truthful with him. He inquired as to whether I was still alive. This time, God, who has been kind to us, did not receive any bad news.
