Cheteshwar Pujara hits double hundred on County captaincy debut for Sussex

LONDON: Cheteshwar Pujara continued his fine form and hit a century on captaincy debut for Sussex to put his side in a commanding position against Middlesex in the County Championship Division Two at Lord's in London on Wednesday.

Pujara, who was overnight 115, was unbeaten on 143 from 263 balls, studded with 13 fours and one six to help Sussex reach 412 for six against Middlesex at lunch on day two.

Pujara took over the captaincy of Sussex following Tom Haines' injury. The India Test mainstay slammed his fifth century from seven county games this season. He shared a 219-run third wicket partnership with Tom Alsop (135) after Sussex were reduced to 99/2 inside 35 overs. Agencies
