Prior to this, Ajinkya Rahane had great innings as he reached a half-century (83) with a strike rate of 61.48. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3y_zYrAd2r/ Rohit Sharma, also known as Hitman, continued to hold innings together, as he stood alone from the beginning to the end of the day. He smashed 117 off 164 deliveries with a strike rate of 71.34.  What went in favour of Proteas? Just the beginning. The visitors dismissed Mayank Agarwal (10), Cheteshwar Pujara (0) and Virat Kohli (12). All these batsmen were dominating the Proteas in the previous two matches.
