The second day of the second Test match against South Africa was the full pack of entertainment. Virat Kohli scoring a double century, Ravindra Jadeja scoring a half-century and Proteas miss fielding and no-ball. Full of twist and turns.
Virat scored a double century against the visitors during the first innings of Pune Test. It was his seventh double century in Test career. He broke the record of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag who hit six Test double centuries. With this recent knock, the Indian skipper registered the record of the most Test double-centuries by an Indian.
It must be said that Virat Kohli was playing today with little good luck. Proteas did miss fielding and did some mistakes and it helped Virat to score the big runs.

The most memorable was Senuran Muthusamy‘s no-ball for which the Indian captain escaped from the dismissal. Virat Kohli got out at the ball of Muthuswamy at 208 runs as he gave the catch to Faf du Plessis at slip. It was bad luck for the proteas as Muthuswamy bowled a no-ball.
A funny situation was created as after getting out South Africa players were shaking hands with Virat and congratulated the player for a double century. But all this went to vain when umpire checked for the no-ball. The decision went against the Proteas and Virat was given not out.

Muthuswamy earlier has also bowled no-ball which has proven expensive for the Proteas. The Proteas has lost the first Test match in Visakhapatnam against India by 203 runs. The ongoing second Test match is crucial for the visitors as this will much decide about the Test series.
