Well, that escalated quickly! :(
Rohit Sharma falls for 11 leaving India teetering. This all while we have a batsman who is capable of being here in such situations. Unlucky Ajinkya Rahane. Should always play in our overseas tests irrespective of form. Poor Pujara fighting a lonely battle as always.

Respect! _/\_
Rohit Sharma scored exactly 11 runs. That is 1 run as a tribute to each member of the team. That's team spirit for you. How many batsmen can boast of such creativity even in adverse conditions.. That's talent!

And then came the Saviour!
Enjoying watching this uncomplicated, uninhibited batting from Hardik Pandya. Looking like a batsman.

When everyone struggled Hardik Pandya scores half century against likes of Steyn, Rabbada, Morkel & Philander on seaming track and you can't give better birthday gift to Kapil Dev...

Rohit Sharma, watch and learn!
Hardik Pandya now has more runs in one inning than total runs scored by Rohit Sharma in his entire career in SA (59).

Coincidence? I think not!
Two good knocks of Hardik Pandya in Tests and Ravindra Jadeja wasn't playing both the matches. 😂😂

Indian tail >> Indian top order
India's first innings:
— Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket)
First 7 wickets added 92 runs
Eighth wicket added 99 runs
Sums up how crucial that partnership!
The conversations between Pandya and Bhuvi in the middle! :P
Pandya said to Bhuvi “mere ko pata nahi chal rha iska (Rabada) , mai single nahi lunga” 😂

And then this happened! :(
2013 in South Africa:
— Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket)
Ajinkya Rahane deserved century but got out for 96...
2018 in South Africa:
Hardik Pandya deserved century but got out for 93...
We celebrate centuries & rue the ones missed. But this Hardik Pandya 93 is more valuable and brilliant than many 100s. Its impact should be felt through the series.

This is what the Indian dressing looked like as Pandya walked in!

— That LOL Buddhu (@lolbuddhu)
I blame Sanjay for this!
Sanjay Manjrekar is next level panauti. Jinxed Pandya's century.
— Sripad (@falsewinger)
Today:
"Pandya is going to score his second century.."
*OUT NEXT BALL*
2 weeks ago:
"Rohit Sharma is going to score the first T20 200"
*OUT NEXT BALL"
