nenunanu Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 "I would say Sachin's innings was the best because he was playing his last game and it is not easy to focus and concentrate," Pujara said. "There is a lot of nervousness, and the way crowd was supporting - it was good on the crowd's part - but when you are in the middle it is difficult to concentrate so I would rate Sachin's innings as the best. bl@st bl@st

I think there was a lot of expectation from him since he was playing in Mumbai and it was his last Test match. But the way he batted it is incredible and only he can do it I guess." bl@st bl@st
nenunanu Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 Pujara was the fortunate one to have batted with Tendulkar throughout what seems like Tendulkar's last innings in Test cricket. "It was a very good partnership," he said. "Initially it was very difficult for me to concentrate because there was a lot of noise from the crowd, and I was just coming, and I didn't face any balls. He faced the first ball before me because [M] Vijay got out. He told me to just stay focussed. Once I played a few balls it was easy for me to bat then." bl@st bl@st
