Cheteshwar Pujara got out in a Dramatic way

Few months back Cheteshwar Pujara became the first Indian batsman ever to be dismissed
“handled the ball” in first-class cricket. The incident occurred on day 1 of the County
Championship Division Two match between Derbyshire and Leicestershire at the County

Ground in Derby.

Pujara was batting on 6 when he was given out to handled the ball on the last delivery of
the 20 th over of the innings, which was bowled by left-arm medium pace bowler Atif Sheikh.

According to Derbyshire’s official Twitter account, the Saurashtra batsman “swatted” the
ball away, when it seemed destined to be going on to hit the stumps.

This is just the second instance of an Indian batsman losing his wicket to this mode of
dismissal. The only previous time it happened was when Mohinder Amarnath was given out to
handled the ball in an ODI match against Australia, way back in 1986.

Just last week, the 26-year-old Pujara had inspired Derbyshire to victory over Surrey with
an unbeaten knock of 90* in the fourth innings.

This is the 59th time a batsmen has been dismissed handling the ball in first-class cricket.
The last instance of such a dismissal occurring in England was in 1996 .

Sachin Tendulkar & Steve Waugh to be honured by Bradman Honour

The two great batsman of time Sachin Tendulkar & Setve Waugh are to be honured by the Bradman honour next month.
Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar joined Steve Waugh in Sydney for their inductionas  for the october  2014 Bradman Honourees.

Tendulkar and Waugh joined the likes of Dennis Lillee and Adam Gilchrist as inductees at a gala
dinner at the Sydney Cricket Ground on October 29.

"There could be no more principled and
deserving individuals in the game than Sachin
and Steve," said Bradman Foundation Executive
Director Rina Hore.
"Were Sir Donald to still be alive I'm sure he would unhesitatingly applaud their recognition at
the ground where his ambition to play Test cricket was first kindled."
Tendulkar will be just the third Indian and fourth non-Australian to be inducted following Sunil
Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid and Sir Richard Hadlee.
Both men enjoyed impressive records at the SCG, with Tendulkar scoring three centuries from
five Tests at the ground, including an unbeaten innings of 241 in the 2004 New Year's Test.
Waugh, who retired after that match, scored three centuries from 17 Tests at his home
ground, including his memorable last-ball century against England in 2003.

Tendulkar has scored more international runs than any other player in cricket history and was
famously regarded by Bradman as the player who most reminded him of himself.

India will play four Tests in Australia this
summer, the first time they have toured the
country without Tendulkar in over two decades.
