It has been one of the most eventful Tests between India and South Africa in recent times, with the match swinging in opposite directions from time to time, making it exciting and keeping the audience attentive. While KL Rahul's magnificent century stole the limelight, there was one moment which is worth watching again.
During the 66th over of the Indian batting, when Rahul was at the non-striker's end at a score of 95 as the final batter from the visitor's side, Prasidh Krishna was on strike, with Gerald Coetzee steaming in. Coetzee bowled a delivery that was down the leg, which Krishna left, and the keeper collected it comfortably.
However, as soon as the keeper Kyle Verreynne collected it, he threw it towards the slips. Meanwhile, the Indian duo on the pitch ran as quickly as possible, resulting in stealing a run. This left Coetzee fuming as he expected the keeper to try and hit the stumps.
It was given as byes with Rahul back on strike and three deliveries remaining in the over, which he made full use of as he launched one into the stands to reach his eighth Test hundred.
Nevertheless, their joy was short-lived as Rahul was cleaned up by Nandre Burger a couple of overs later. India's innings ended on 245, which is way more than they would have expected after a tough start against the Proteas pacers, especially Kagiso Rabada, who bagged a five-wicket haul.
By the time of writing, Africa were 84 for losing one wicket after the end of 23 overs of their innings with Dean Elgar and Tony de Zorzi still at the crease.
