Happy Birthday, Cheteshwar Pujara! The man who bats longer than most of us binge-watch Netflix series. Your patience at the crease is legendary—rumor has it bowlers pack snacks when you're batting because they know they'll be there a while. Congrats on being one of the fastest to reach 1,000 Test runs; ironically achieved by someone famous for taking his sweet time!From your gritty knocks in Australia that frustrated bowlers into retirement thoughts, to anchoring India's innings with unmatched resilience—you've given cricket fans countless reasons to cheer (and opponents plenty of headaches). Keep grinding down bowling attacks and making fielders wish they'd brought chairs onto the pitch. Have an amazing birthday!
