Cheteshwar Pujara contributed an unbeaten 130 to India`s 303 for four on the opening day of the fourth Test against Australia on Thursday, keeping the tourists firmly on track for a historic breakthrough with his third century of the series.
The hosts, facing a desperate scrap to avoid being the first Australia team to lose a series to India on home soil, managed to dislodge Mayank Agarwal after a bright 77, Virat Kohli for 23 and Ajinkya Rahane for 18.
Pujara, however, would just not budge and eked out his innings at a rate of little more than a run every other ball to take his series tally to 458 and add another century to those that helped India to victories in Adelaide and Melbourne.
