India vs South Africa Highlights, 2nd Test Day 4, IND vs SA: Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer struck crucial blows late in the day, removing KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to leave India reeling at 27/2, staring at a 522-run deficit. India, who had everything to do on Day 4, started the proceedings well as Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar scalped three wickets in the morning session (Ryan Rickelton, Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma). However, Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi ensured that the runs came by thick and fast as the duo formed a 101-run stand for the fourth wicket. The partnership was broken by Ravindra Jadeja as he dismissed Zorzi for 49; however, Stubbs found support in Wiaan Mulder, and the two took the lead past the 500-run mark. Stubbs ended up missing out on a well-deserved century and South Africa finally declared at the score of 260/5, setting a target of 549 and asking India to bat out three-and-a-half sessions.

Earlier, India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, gave his team an animated pep talk in the team huddle before the start of play on Day 4, as the hosts are staring down the barrel in the second and final Test against South Africa. The first three days have witnessed a sheer domination from the visitors, as they won eight sessions compared to India's one. On a good batting track, India suffered yet another batting collapse on the third day, and they were bundled out for 201 with Yashasvi Jaiswal registering the lone fifty. Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, and Sai Sudharsan were found to have played loose shots, which ultimately enabled South Africa to gain a lead of 288 runs.

Earlier, South Africa took almost two days to post 489 runs on the board. Senuran Muthusamy and Marco Jansen scored 109 and 93, respectively, as Indian bowlers looked clueless on a pitch that seemed to offer nothing for the bowlers. However, the Indian batters seemed in some sort of a hurry, and this below-par showing led to the hosts being bundled out for just 201. The Proteas then concluded Day 3 at the score of 26/0, extending the lead to 314.
