Cheteshwar Pujara has recalled a behind-the-scenes moment from his time with Chennai Super Kings that involved Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. Pujara said Hazlewood refused to bowl to him during practice nets and explained the reason as a humorous incident. The former India batter described the exchange as part of the day-to-day interactions within the CSK setup, highlighting how even established international players share light moments during training. According to Pujara’s account, Hazlewood’s refusal was not connected to any serious disagreement, but rather stemmed from the specific circumstances of the session and the way practice was being conducted. Pujara’s comments focus on the lighter side of life in a franchise environment, where bowlers and batters interact regularly and sometimes adapt their approach in response to on-the-ground conditions. The story adds to the set of anecdotes often shared by players reflecting on their experiences with teammates and opponents across domestic leagues.
