#1 Cheteshwar Pujara (2nd innings)

India were 35-3 overnight and there were talks that India should come out to bat with positive intent on Day 5. But there is a fine line between showing positive intent and setting out on a suicide mission. Pujara's attempt was skewed towards the latter as he gifted his wicket to the opposition for the second time in the match.
Parthiv Patel got an awkwardly rising delivery from Philander. He negotiated it safely and guided it towards third man. Pacer Lungi Ngidi chased the ball and was backed by AB de Villiers. Ngidi slid and passed the ball to ABD to throw it back to the keeper.
Unmindful of this, and of his dodgy knee, Pujara set out for a third. The next thing he knew was that he was down on the ground after a dive that was not enough to make his ground.
