Best of Pujara’s Scintillating Ton Against Gloucestershire in County Championship 2023

Apr 29, 2023 Dhruv Pal

The Khel Times

Cricket: Against Gloucestershire, Cheteshwar Pujara registered his seventh century for the county club Sussex.

Sussex captain Cheteshwar Pujara scored a century-old goal against Gloucestershire on Day 3 of the English County Championship at Bristol City Ground. Gloucestershire won the toss and invited Sussex to strike first. Sussex finished their match on Day 3 with a score of 455/5.

Sussex were 47-1 in the stumps on day 1 after losing to opener Tom Haines (3). Opener Ariol (36) was dismissed on the second day and captain Pujara took the lead for Sussex.

After losing to openers Orr and Tom Haines, Pujara led his own side from the front with Tom Alsop and added 100 to third base. When Alsop was posted for 67, Pujara was assisted by James Coles and the duo worked together to get a good total on the first hits.

However, as India’s Test legend Pujara took the lead with 99*, visitors increased the total number of first hits from 47 to 302. Along with Pujara and Alsop, James Coles was also a force to be reckoned with, scoring a career-high 74 points. Pujara scored at the start of the third day, while Sussex continued the game at 302/4.

It was his seventh century and second of the season in 11 appearances for the Sussex county club. It was also the 58th one-ton inning for the Indian ace batsman.

Sussex 151 total of Pujara when finishing the campaign on Day 3. Pujara’s 151 and Roj Carter’s 74 took Sussex to 455 in the first inning against Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire:

Pujara surpassed former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer’s record of 57 in first-class cricket this century. The 35-year-old now ranks fourth among the most prolific Indians in the century class. Above Pujara on the list are Sachin Tendulkar (81), Sunil Gavaskar (81), Rahul Dravid (68) and Vijay Hazare (60).

Formula E Season 9 – A Wrap on the First 5 races

Mar 15, 2023 MVK Chaitanya

Done with 5 races in this Formula E season 9 for 2022-23. Covered 4 different countries across 3 continents over the 5 races – Mexico, Saudi Arabia, India and South Africa. 2 of those opening 5 races were first timers on a Formula E calendar – Hyderabad EPrix in India and Cape Town EPrix in South Africa.

Opening 3 Rounds – Mexico and the double header in Saudi Arabia

It was a Porsche power train dominance that took us through the opening 3 rounds. Jake Dennis in the Porsche powered Andretti took the season opener in Mexico while Pascal Wehrlein took both the races in the double header at Diriyah in Saudi. The 2 drivers stood 1& 2nd in all the opening 3 rounds while others ran into troubles. So after 3 rounds, they looked the run away favorites for the title with Wehrlein leading on 68 pts to Jake Dennis’ 52 pts.

The works Porsche team led the Teams’ standings with 74 pts followed by their customer team Andretti with 66 pts. At this point, it was looking like a season to be dominated by Porsche cars as Wehrlein and Dennis looked flying in race mode ploughing their way to the lead of the race though starting outside the top 5.

Among others, Lucas Di Grassi took the pole at the season opener in Mexico. Buemi took the pole in Race at Diriyah just marginally over the rapid Neom McLaren driver Jake Hughes. The young rookie came back in Race 2 to score his maiden Formula E pole.

India – Hyderabad EPrix

Formula E lands for the first time in India in the city of Hyderabad, home for the Mahindra Racing Team and TATA owned Jaguar tcs Racing team. The track was green and dusty to start with, which required a dummy practice session ahead of the official FP 1. Few first time event issues then delaying the FP1, but went on eventually. The weekend from then produced an absolute thriller in terms of the unpredictable nature. Mitch Evans of the home backed Jaguar tcs Racing took the pole. The tight hairpin for turn 3 at the end of a straight provided all the drama as expected. Unfortunately, both Jaguar cars collided when Sam Bird just misread the situation when he was trying to take the attack mode on the outside of turn 3.

Jean Eric Vergne took the opening and used his experience in managing the battery life along with his gritty race craft. He came through to take the win though with only 0.8% charge left at the start of the last lap. Fended off a charging Nick Cassidy in the Envision racing car who was having 3% more charge in his battery relative to Vergne.

South Africa – Cape Town Eprix

Set in the picturesque background of the table mountains, the circuit layout for the Cape Town EPrix was the Formula E’s version of Monza in Italy. The 2.921 km length track was covered in 67.848 seconds by Nissan’s Sacha Fenetraz in the FINALS of the duels to take the pole position @ average speed of about 155 km/hr.

The track stood to its hype of being the real test to the new blood of Formula E cars in the form of Gen 3. The track was characterized by high speed straights / turns that caught out a few during the race weekend.

The race as well produced another close encounter. Jean Eric Vergne once again at the helm battling for the race win, this time with his former team mate, Porsche’s Antonio Felix Da Costa. The race was decided on the final lap with Da Costa putting a brilliant move over Vergne by throwing a dummy down the inside before going past him on the outside.

Formula E Season 9 – Championship Standings after 5 rounds.

Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein, though with a DNF in Cape Town, is still in the lead of the driver’s lead by 18 pts. over Andretti’s Jake Dennis. In Formula E terms, should say the German driver holds a comfortable gap after 5 races, thanks to his consistency in the opening 4 races of the season with 2 wins, a 2nd and a 4th.

Formula E Season 9 – Laps lead chart

Former 2 times Formula E champion, Jean Eric Vergne, got his title challenge underway with a win in Hyderabad and P2 in Cape Town. But it has been a tough start for his team mate and the reigning Formula E world champion, Stoffel Vandoorne, with just 11 points to his name across 3 points scoring finishes. He would be hoping to have utilized the month’s gap between Rds. 5 &6 to turn the tide in terms of getting his usual qualifying pace back with his new team.

In the teams, Porsche are leading the way with 3 wins out of the 5 races. Envision Racing have been the 2nd most consistent team with 3 podium finishes (could have been 4 if not for the post race penalty to Buemi for Technical infringement).

Rd. 6 takes the Formula E season 9 to yet another new location in Sao Paulo in Brazil. The race comes after a month’s break that would have given enough time for the teams to churn through the lots of data collected over the opening rounds. Maybe that we see a change in the pecking order ?, to be seen.
