Pujara was last seen in action during the one-off Test between India and England in July this year. Pujara scored a crucial 66 runs in the second innings of the match but despite his efforts, India failed to win the game. Before coming into the Test against England, Pujara played exceptionally well in the County Championships. Pujara scored two double centuries and two centuries in England's premier domestic tournament. 

Making his debut for Sussex in April, Pujara had scored an unbeaten 201 runs to help his side draw the match against Derbyshire. In his second match, Pujara scored 109 and 12 runs to continue his stellar form but couldn't help his team avoid a loss against Worcestershire. In the third game, Pujara hit his second double-century for Sussex, scoring 203 off 334 balls against Durham.
