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.

Ravichandran Ashwin was in his element as returned with a seven-wicket haul to help the host secure a valuable 71-run lead. He was out of action for almost 12 months before he returned against South Africa to lead the spin department.

However, a miscommunication between Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara caused the former curse the Saurashtra batsman. 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.
