The first match of the three-Test series is being played between India and South. The Indian team declared their first innings on 502 runs. South Africa also batted brilliantly. The visiting team scored 431 to let India take a lead of just 71 runs. This is the first time since 2012 when the foreign team has scored more than 400 runs against India in the Test against India.

The second innings of the Indian team started poorly and Mayank Agarwal, who scored a double century in the first innings, returned to the pavilion after scoring only 7 runs. He was caught by Faf du Plessis at slip off Keshav Maharaj.

Cheteshwar Pujara, who came to support Rohit Sharma after Mayank's dismissal, started off slow. His bat was quiet in the first innings of four innings and one match of the West Indies series. That is why he took his time but Rohit from the other end continued to keep the bad balls out of the boundary.
After the first blow, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara completed their half-centuries. Rohit scored fast and scored his half-century in 72 balls with the help of three sixes and three fours.

Pujara was playing very slow in the beginning and he had only 8 runs from 61 balls but after that he scored fast. He completed his half-century in 106 balls and included nine sixes as well as a six.

On the fourth day, the Indian team scored 175 runs at the loss of one wicket till tea. Rohit Sharma 85 and Cheteshwar Pujara are on the pitch scoring 74 runs. Both batsmen are looking towards the century and India has increased to 246 runs.

The Indian team would like to give South Africa a chance to bat by scoring fast runs in the final session today. India will then have another full day to dismiss South Africa.
