Playing his first game of the season, Pujara scored a gritty 51 off 48 balls with the help of eight boundaries before getting bowled out by Gony.

The explosive opener shared 102-run stand for the first wicket with Pujara and hit three sixes and six boundaries during his explosive knock.

Pujara reached his half-ton in the 14th over. Pujara's fifty came off 45 balls.
