KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) – Batsman Cheteshwar Pujara says India will not be getting ahead of themselves despite dominating West Indies in last week’s opening Test in Antigua.

The tourists produced a clinical all-round performance to hammer West Indies by an innings and 92 runs inside four days at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium but Pujara said the team would not be overconfident as they geared up for the second Test starting here Saturday.

“The first aim is to win the series and after that we would like to win all the Test matches but one Test match at a time, so we’ll be focusing on winning this Test match,” the right-hander told reporters here.

“We are in a positive environment and all of the guys are charged up for this Test match.”

India were exceptional over the four days of the first Test, amassing 566 for eight declared after opting to bat first before scuttling out the hosts for under 250 each time they batted.

Crucial for India was the performance of their lower order with Ravi Ashwin hitting his third Test hundred and leg-spinner Amit Mishra getting a bold half-century.

Pujara praised his side’s performance and said it was important India extended this trend at Sabina Park over the coming days.

“If you see the first Test match, there was enough pace and bounce on the wicket and we did well so we just need to continue the things that we have been doing well and as a batting unit we have been doing well,” he noted.

“They were many partnerships in the last game particularly from the lower order. Ashwin batted well, Amit Mishra batted well so even the top order is doing well and they are contributions from the lower order so it is a positive sign for the team.”

He added: “We don’t know what kind of wicket it will be but as a team we have been playing good cricket and that is what we will look to do. We won’t be worried too much about the wicket. I think if we play to our potential we have a very good chance of winning the series.”

Pujara made just 16 in Antigua to extend an average run of form which has seen him gather just one half-century in his last seven Test innings.

In a four-Test series against South Africa last year, he had a highest score of 77 in Mohali when India won by 108 runs. However, he said he was not worried by his form and was happy to keep contributing to the team’s success.

“I’ve been batting well and even in the South African series [there were] good scores and good contributions on challenging wickets,” he pointed out.

“At times you have to be realistic and seek [to make] contributions rather than worrying about getting hundreds or big double hundreds. It’s all about contributing to the team’s success and I’ve been batting well so I don’t think I need to worry too much about it.

“At the same time, I recognize that I played a bad shot in the last Test match. I was looking good. I did the hard work in the first session when the ball was moving … but there are things to learn from that particular game.

“Overall, the team did well and I am really happy with the way things are going.”
