Rohit Sharma contemplating taking DRS in 2nd Test© Twitter
Fans on social media were in splits seeing how Rohit was discussing the decision to take DRS, particularly the language he used.
India eventually dismissed South Africa for 176, with Aiden Markram emerging as the top-scoring batter having registered a century. Chasing a target of 79 runs, India needed just 12 overs to complete the run-chase and draw the series 1-1.
“A great feat. In Centurion, we had to learn from the mistakes we made in that Test. We came back pretty well, especially our bowlers. Even though the conditions were tough for batters, you still go to put the ball in the right areas. Had some plans as to what we wanted to do and the boys got rewarded for it. We applied ourselves, we batted really well to get a 100-run lead, not pleasing to see the last six wickets. We knew that it’s going to be a short game, we knew every run matters, to get that first innings lead was very important for us,” Rohit said after what was the shortest Test match in history.
