There came a moment during the day when two South African cricketers lost their cool as things weren’t going their way. In the 123rd over of the Indian innings, Rabada threw the ball towards de Kock and a lapse in concentration from the wicket-keeper gifted Indian an extra run.

Rabada wasn’t happy with de Kock and he let his feeling known to the stumped, who also send down sume verbal volleys towards the pacer. The duo exchanged few words before normalcy was restored.

Jadeja was out attempting a big heave off spinner Senuran Muthusamy and was caught at long off for 91 as Kohli walked off with his partner to have a go at the opposition batting in the final session.

Playing his 50th Test as captain, Kohli surpassed batting great Don Bradman’s tally of 6,996 runs and then swept Muthusamy for two runs to reach 200 in his 81st match amid a standing ovation. The benchmark puts him in the top 50 Test run-getters, a field led by Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar with 15,921 runs in 200 matches.
