South Africa vs India 2018: 2nd Test, Day 4, 5 things we learnt from the day

#1 A litmus test for Cheteshwar Pujara on day 5

Pujara does not have a good record in these conditions

A huge test of character awaits India's no.3 on day 5 after the tourists are in danger of losing the series at Centurion in the second Test. At 35/3 and a daunting target in front of them, it will be the no.3 batsman, Pujara, who needs to churn out a Johannesburg 2013 like knock for the Indians.

Aside from that big hundred on a flat surface, though, Pujara's overseas record in South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia is pretty average. 13 of his 14 hundreds have come within the Asian sub-continent with 10 in India and 3 in Sri Lanka. Despite his resilience and resolve, Pujara hasn't quite set the scorecard on fire in these conditions. Day 5 at Centurion will be an ideal opportunity to turn that record around.
