Virat Kohli & Co proved again why they are the top-ranked side in the world as they extended their lead at the top of the ICC World Test Championship points table. Rohit Sharma laid the foundation for a huge first innings score with his prolific double century alongside Ajinkya Rahane, who came up with a brilliant century.

Then it was the Indian pacers who wreaked havoc over the last two days. Mohammed Shami was at his lethal best and so was Umesh Yadav. Debutant Shahbaz Nadeem chipped in with few wickets and a terrific run-out on day 3 as India took away the match quite convincingly.

Furthermore, Mayank Agarwal heaped praise on the Indian bowlers for picking 20 wickets in each and every game. Especially, the India pacers who have troubled the South African batters with bouncers on Indian pitches.

“Kudos to our bowlers for taking 20 wickets and putting us in winning situations. Standing at short leg and seeing their batsmen hop and struggle against the short balls is pleasing, we also face a lot of heat while facing them. Our fast bowlers are giving back what they get, not only the bouncers but the areas that they bowl in as well,” Agarwal concluded.
