Cheteshwar Pujara has been India’s test match specialist for the past decade or so. Having said so, why doesn't he play enough ODIs and Test matches?

Cheteshwar Pujara’s technique doesn’t make him an ODI/ T20 fit.
Cheteshwar Pujara’s defensive strategies in batting are common in test innings. But having said so, his run-scoring spree is always slow and the technique he possesses won’t make him fit for playing ODIs or T20s.

Cheteshwar Pujara doesn't play enough domestic ODI tournaments or IPL for qualifying into the short-format team.
Cheteshwar Pujara’s dedication to playing test matches has made him the lone player in the test squad, who plays for a county team in England, and there too, only test matches. Therefore, without a substantial performance in the shorter format, there is no way Pujara would ever find a chance in the ODI/ T20 squad.

Simply because he is not cut for short format.
India has a large pool of gifted batsmen, who have performed in short format to prove and justify their positions. Not just the current pool, there are a ton of youngsters who are awaiting their international call in ODI after proving themselves in the domestic circuit. With so much competition, Cheteshwar has no chance of getting selected.
