Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin called the 2018-19 Australia tour a key moment in Cheteshwar Pujara's career. Ashwin said Pujara was very hard to dismiss during that series and nicknamed him 'White Walker' after a Game of Thrones character. Pujara scored a century and a half-century in Adelaide and made 193 runs in the final Test in Sydney. Ashwin said Australian bowlers struggled to get him out and even joked about it. He also said Pujara's efforts often go unnoticed compared to stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Ashwin shared these views on his YouTube channel. (Updated 25 Aug 2025, 22:55 IST; source: link)
