Pujara has consistantly underperformed ever since his initial bubble burst and then nowhere even a half century. For that as Dhoni correctly classifies the likes of Rohit, Pujara, Ajinkya and Kohli are totally a failure when it is comes to standing up and closing a win. All fall like pack of cards. All these guys score heavily when there is no pressure like in 1st inning of match (barring Kohli on some occasions in one days ) but never stand on to the pressure inthe 3rd or 4th innings to either save or win a test. Hence they cannot be even classifed as world class batsman., but just as International batsman. The word class some on testing times.

Agreed. Gavaskar and Mohinder were saving India from defeats and even chasing victories in 4th innings. These Pujaris cannot move their bums fast enough to the other side of the wicket. Have they brought us victory or even saved matches.. Numbers do not count..
