South Africa vs India 2018: From Pujara's runouts to Parthiv's keeping, things that went wrong for India in the second Test

#2 Pujara “running” out of time in overseas conditions

Cheteshwar Pujara replaced the great Rahul Dravid at number three position and was expected to be the rock of this batting line up. Having scored mountains of runs in the recently concluded home season, Pujara was expected to do well in South Africa.

But so far, he has been very poor. He entered the record books as the first Indian batsman to be dismissed run out in both the innings of a Test. In the first innings, he decided to take a risky single off the very first ball he faced and was cleaned up by debutant Ngidi and once again in the second innings, when the whole team was dependent on him, he took a chance to come back for the third run but AB de Villiers was way too swift for Pujara.
