Cheteshwar Pujara, speaking to BCCI.tv in an interview, says his problems with fitness are behind him and he's focussed completely on the game.
Fitness wise I have completely recovered and there are no issues with the knee. I had the ACL injury for which I had a surgery. It was disappointing because I was out when I was in form. It took me five months to recover but now I am very confident. The foremost thing for a cricketer is being fit on the field. You shouldn’t have any niggles or pain when you play and should be able to focus on the game. I have gotten there now.
