Which two legendary players' retirement made Pujara a contender for the Indian middle order?

  • Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman

  • Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly

  • Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh

  • Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir

Answer

Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman's retirements created a void in the Indian middle order, opening up an opportunity for Pujara. With their experience and class, Dravid and Laxman were key figures in India's batting lineup for many years. Their absence left a significant gap that needed to be filled, and Pujara emerged as a potential replacement due to his solid technique, patience, and ability to play long innings.
