RANCHI, India (Reuters) - Cheteshwar Pujara has one more test to play in the ongoing Australia series before the top-order stalwart slips out of India's sporting consciousness as the nation shifts its focus to the bedlam of white-ball cricket.

Considered a 'test specialist', a euphemism for a limited-overs misfit, Pujara failed to land an Indian Premier League contract and will be twiddling his thumbs when the star-studded Twenty20 tournament kicks off next month.
