Pujara's role was even crucial in the 2020-21 leg as Virat Kohli departed after the 1st Test. The veteran notably took a dozen blows to his body in Brisbane as India chased down a stiff 328 to register a series win.

Cheteshwar Pujara played his last Test in the 2023 WTC final against Australia in London. He came into the big match in exceptional form, but could not follow it up with good scores as India lost the fixture. Nevertheless, he has amassed over 7000 Test runs.
