XtraTime Web Desk : Team India Test star, Cheteshwar Pujara in his recent press conference has addressed some major points related to the upcoming test series against the Kiwis in India. The first test is to be played in Kanpur from 25th of November and Pujara spoke to the reporters ahead of the clash.

Regarding his form, Pujara said, “I have been contributing with 50-60 runs. As long as I play well, I am not worried. It will come. It is just a matter of a good innings and with the Indian conditions, it will come soon. There was no major change in technique. I was just playing fearlessly. I was just enjoying my game. So far, the preparation has been good and the experience of playing in Indian conditions will help.”

Other than his form, Pujara also looked confident about his stand in skipper Ajinkiya Rahane. In support of Rahane, he added, "Rahane is a great player, there are times when a player goes through a tough time and that’s a part of this game. There can be ups and downs but I feel he is a confident player. He is someone who works hard on his game and I am sure he is just one innings away from gaining back the form. Once he gets back to scoring runs, he will be back in form. He has been working hard in the nets. So he is a good touch, hoping that he scores big runs in this series.”
