The Indian cricket team will look to take early wickets against South Africa to put pressure on the hosts early on and try to go hard at them on Day 4 of the second Test against South Africa on Tuesday.
While South Africa will aim to put a tall score on board and aided with the lead of the first innings, they'll look to put this game beyond India.
Virat Kohli, almost single-handedly kept India in hunt after scoring a brilliant 153 as India were bowled out for 307 in the first innings, reports NDTV.
Ravichandran Ashwin gave Kohli able company before getting dismissed as South Africa stretched their lead past the 100-run mark on a rain-hit third day at the SuperSport Park. Kohli was in his elements before AB de Villiers turned the tide in South Africa's favour on an eventful third day that was affected by rain and bad light.
De Villiers scored his 42nd half-century as South Africa reached 90 for two at stumps in their second innings, overcoming a disastrous start to lead India by 118 runs.
Only 10 overs were possible in the final session as rain and bad light hampered play. At the close, de Villiers was unbeaten on 50 runs (78 balls, 6 fours) while Dean Elgar was batting on 36 not out (78 balls, 4 fours). They added 87 runs for the third wicket, with South Africa's overall lead at 118 runs.
