Often we don’t know what makes the grits and gutts of an international cricketer of all sorts and when things get catered out regarding a players struggle, fans do get more emotionally attached.
Indian legend, VVS Laxman on Twitter shared a video featuring Cheteshwar Pujara’s interview from the series ‘Mind Matters’, taken by Samir Kochar.
I have always admired watching you play with a straight bat and now I get to hear you talk straight from your heart! Your mental health story is truly inspirational just like your batting. More power to you Pujji @cheteshwar1 https://t.co/ncfoZKi7AC

VVS Laxman praised Cheteshwar Pujara’s gritt and gutts on how he psychologically suppressed the odds and made his name shine the brightest.
