Former Team India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara said that playing each and every series will be important for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, considering that the duo is playing just one format.

"For both of them, I think each and every series will be very important because when you are just playing one format. It is important for a player to be in touch with the game and they will be playing after a bit of a break which makes it a little more challenging," he said during the Media Day ahead of the first Test match against South Africa.
