Virat Kohli named India's Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara as the worst runner between the wickets. Virat Kohli cited the example of a Centurian Test match from 2018 in which Team India was playing against South Africa. Cheteshwar Pujara was run-out in both innings.

'Not even in the frame...'

"Pujara was run-out in the first innings of Centurion Test and I said, 'Its OK', such things happen in cricket, Cheteshwar Pujara played a shot in the second innings and called Parthiv Patel for 3rd run, Pujara himself was running towards the danger end and he got run-out again and that too by a big margin", Virat Kohli added while leaving AB de Villiers in splits.
