The Indian batsmen dominated the proceeding on the second day of the ongoing second Test against South Africa played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. Skipper Virat Kohli’s superb double-century, followed by the fifties from vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja cruised the innings to 601/5.


Following the fireworks by the Indian batters, former England skipper opined that the turning Indian tracks used in the longest format of the game are killing the interest of the viewers. Slamming the 'boring' cricket pitches, he stated that they are more in favour of the batsmen.

“Test match cricket pitches in India are boring...The first 3/4 days the contest is far too in favour of the bat...needs more action for the bowler...My thought of the day ...,” Vaughan tweeted on Friday.

Even in the first Test, the Indian batsmen had a great time at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. While Mayank scored a double hundred, Rohit Sharma — in his debut match as opener in red-ball cricket — scored hundreds in both the innings in the game which India won by 203 runs.
