After back to back wickets, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli joined the hands and started to overwhelm the bowlers all around the park. Both Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli started to stitch a beautiful partnership and 62 runs to it.

The wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant walked in at number six and played some good shots in the middle. After all the drama, South African bowlers finally got the wicket of Virat Kohli when he was batting on 79 runs.
