Cheteshwar Pujara showed a great temperament against the lethal South African attack ever since his advent at the crease. Pujara made a half-century of dot deliveries and got off the mark on the 54th ball he faced. As Pujara got off the mark on his 54th delivery, there was a laugh on relief on his face and even the Indian dressing room laughed about it.
Once Pujara got off the mark it was all funny scenes at the Wanderers as everyone from the Indian dressing room celebrated Pujara’s first run. Even Pujara had a big laugh of relief on his face and the spectators hooted as if Pujara has reached his century.
