Visiting India thus completed a remarkable comeback after losing the first Test in Centurion by an innings and 32 runs.

On Thursday, South Africa added 152 runs to their overnight score of 256 for 5 to take their overall lead to 163 runs.

Rahul said the time away from the game due to injury helped him work on his personality.

The final session began with Elgar and Bedingham taking 41 runs in the first nine overs, with Bumrah, Siraj and Thakur proving to be ineffective in stopping the duo from taking boundaries

In the 31st over, Bumrah struck again to dismiss Petersen (2 runs from 7 balls). Dean Elgar and De Zorzi troubled the Indian bowling attack and Bumrah's breakthrough came at a crucial moment in the second session to break the 93-run partnership.

Elgar made batting look easy on a spongy South Africa pitch after the early dismissal of Aiden Markram (5).

In the last 50 over World Cup, skipper Rohit, at best would have emulated Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but if he and his men manage to pull off a coup in this country, he would stand first among the equals

"We understand conditions a lot better so you'd expect us to adapt a lot better but their bowling is quite strong. The fact that they've been able to achieve such success is because of their bowling attack and that kind of nullifies the advantage we have." Bavuma said as quoted from ESPNcricinfo

Gaikwad had injured his finger while trying to take a catch during the second ODI against South Africa earlier this week.
