India vs Australia LIVE Cricket Score: Pujara on KL

"KL has shown that if you apply yourself, if you bat well, it's a good pitch where you can score runs. It's not a very difficult pitch where you can't survive or where you can't bat.

"Whenever he's defending or leaving the ball, he's in a very good position.

"He knows where his off stump is. And even while defending, he allows the ball to come and hit his bat. He's not going for the ball.

"And if you look at the other dismissals, where most of the batters have gone towards the ball. And let's look at his leave. He's quite, he's very well balanced.

"He's covering his off stump. And he's looking to play the ball. But once he knows that it's outside the line, then he's keeping his bat close to his body.

"And some balls did nip back in. And he kept his bat there and it edged and didn't carry. Happened in the previous Tests as well.

"He's allowing the ball to hit his bat. And he's defending with the softer hands, which is a big, big positive there."
