Block, block and block! That was just the order of the day for the South African batsmen, who had an icy cool mind. The fourth day commenced, with Virat Kohli unfortunately missing out on a ton by just 12 runs. But Ajinkya Rahane successfully got to his second ton in the match, as he remained unbeaten on 100. For India, it was Ashwin who struck twice and continued the good work. However, Amla had different plans as he resisted with a resolute mind and technique. The run rate of the Proteas barely got above 1, and going into the fifth day, one can expect a fascinating end to this series.

Below, are the twitter reactions for the fourth day’s play.

The 12 runs he fell short by shouldn’t come in the way of appreciating the 88 that @imVkohli made

Sachin & Sehwag have 5 Man of the Series awards…Ashwin already has 4, should make it 5 here and he’s only halfway through his career!
