It seems the luck is not with Team India Test captain Virat Kohli as he once again failed to score big despite having a good start. On Day 2 at stumps, Team India finished at 57 for 2.
While Cheteshawar Pujara got out very early, Kohli, on the other hand, tried to steady the ship. But he didn’t score much as he fell for a mere 1. And, he finally got support in Rishabh Pant. They added 94 runs before Lungi Ngidi successfully broke the stand.
It was the 49th over when Ngidi bowled a length ball and Virat Kohli decided to play it but got a thick edge. Markram, who was fielding the second slip jumped high on time and grabbed a stunning catch. He scored 29 off 143 with four boundaries.

Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant played a brilliant knock of a hundred and took the team to have a lead of more than 200 single-handedly. He remained unbeaten on 100 runs at India posted 211 runs target for hosts South Africa in the fourth innings.
So far, South Africa has put up a great show in the fielding when Marco Jansen removed the veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara on the very second ball of the innings.
More than the delivery, it was the catch taken by Keegan Petersen that took the limelight. Pujara got an extra bounce around the hips and hit Pujaraās hand. While this usually gets past the wicketkeeper but Petersen had some other idea.
He jumped towards his right and grabbed it single-handedly. And, this left everyone in shock too as Cheteshwar Pujara got out for 9 off 33 as well.
