Twitter hilariously trolls Pujara’s first run in 54 balls

India’s number 3 batsman Cheteshwar Pujara was at the crease fifteen minutes into the match after opener KL Rahul went back to the pavilion for a duck. After getting run-out twice in the second Test, Pujara seemed extremely cautious. So much so that he took 54 balls to get off-the-mark. The bowlers teased Pujara outside the off stump and he happy kept leaving the balls. Finally after about 80 minutes Pujara’s wait for a run ended as he flicked the ball towards the on-side off Lungi Ngidi for a single. With this Pujara achieved a rare feat as he became the second slowest Indian to get off the mark in Test cricket.

In the final Test at Johannesburg, the Proteas quicks yet again tested the Indian top order. A fine bowling display made the batting line-up struggle for runs in the first session of Day 1.
