However, in a video shared by bcci.tv, Cheteshwar Pujara said, "It's about playing as many first-class games as possible and for me, I think the experience was very important.
Because when you want to get back into form, when you want to find your rhythm, when you want to find your concentration, it's important to have some long innings.
When I was playing for Sussex, once I had the first big knock against Derby then I felt that my rhythm was back. My concentration and everything started falling in place."
The official Twitter handle of Sussex Cricket shared the video of Cheteshwar Pujara who was seen bowling in a match against Leicestershire. Moreover, he will be looking to get back to his prime form ahead of the upcoming home series against Australia.
