Team India have extended their lead over 200 to take a firm grip in the first Test against South Africa in Visakhapatnam. Rohit Sharma once again led India’s batting alongside Cheteshwar Pujara, who announced his arrival to form with a fluent knock.

After Rohit defended a delivery, both the players went for a run but then opted against it, that saw Rohit getting frustrated. He went on to curse Pujara which was audible on the stump mic.
