Kagiso Rabada and Duanne Olivier opened the bowling for South Africa and Gibbs tweet claims that the pace duo wasn't generating enough speed to trouble the Indian batters.

"Both opening bowlers for proteas not even hitting 135km on average and Pommy talking about imposing yourself," Gibbs, a former opening batter tweeted, referring former commentator Pommie Mbangwa.

However, Gibbs' tweet did not age well as South Africa pacers returned impressive figures. Olivier and Marco Jansen grabbed three wickets each, while Rabada picked up three.

The South African bowlers remained on top of Indian batters, who failed to put up a decent score, batting KL Rahul and Ravichandran Ashwin. India's stand-in captain scored his 13th Test fifty, while Ashwin's knock of 46 ensured India crossed 200.
