Not the best way to send the best player off for a tea break! Can't say he deserved it, but @cheteshwar1 escapes many many umpiring errors and stays on! #Pujara #CheaterCheater #NobodyEscapesChinnaswamyLove @RanjiKarnataka pic.twitter.com/YLxQzHmSYn

Pujara's century went in vain as he didn't get due credit for the victory. He was given not out by the on-field umpire after he nicked a ball straight to the wicket-keeper Srinivas Sharath.
After getting a lifeline in the first innings, Pujara edged one behind in the second innings too when he was on 34. The umpire adjudged him not out.
