India added 63 runs to their overnight score and increased their second innings lead over SA to 209 before lunch of day four of the Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
India started the day with 16/1 on the board, a substantial lead of 146 and with KL Rahul on five runs and Shardul Thakur having contributed four to the scoreboard.
SA started day four on a promising note when Thakur was caught by Wiaan Mulder at third slip from the bowling of Kagiso Rabada inside the first 30 minutes. The demise of Rahul, who scored a sparkling century in the first innings, meant that India have vastly experienced batters in the form of captain Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara on the crease.
