But according to Cheteshwar Pujara, India's first-innings total is as good as 300 on the seaming wicket at the Wanderers. I would say it wasn't a bad day for us," Pujara said in Johannesburg after the day's play. It was difficult for me early on, but as I batted more, it became easier for me," Pujara explained. Pujara believes batting will only become harder as the game progresses and that's the reason India opted to bat first on winning the toss. Talking about intent, Pujara doffed his hat to Kohli for the 54 runs the India captain scored after joining Pujara in the middle at 13 for two.
