Former Australian captain Tim Paine recently highlighted the critical importance of Australia A fixtures in getting ready for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, noting the necessity of mastering local pitches and building sound tactics. Looking back at past encounters, he admitted that Cheteshwar Pujara consistently frustrated the Australian bowling attack during his tenure at the helm.
