Live Cricket Score, India vs South Africa, 4th Test Day 2, Delhi
India take on South Africa on Day 2 of the fourth Test match at Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi on Friday. India were 231/7 when the stumps were called on Thursday. Ajinkya Rahane is still at the crease and he would look to get a century at home soil. While South Africa would look to restrict the home side to under 250 provided that the pitch will offer assistance to the tweakers from Day 3 onwards.

Day 1 recap:
Coming off the bench, Piedt shows South Africa what they missed
Live Cricket Score, India vs South Africa: Dane Piedt registered the figures of 4/101.
Dane Piedt had last played a Test match fourteen months back. Incidentally, that was his debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. Finishing with figures of 8 for 152, the 24-year-old looked confident of taking the big leap in international cricket. However, a shoulder injury he suffered while playing for the Cape Cobras at a Champions League T20 game proved to be a speed-breaker.
Lost and found: Rahane at home

For a batsman of his talent, technique and temperament, Ajinkya Rahane’s batting record in Test matches at home was abysmal. Before the ongoing fourth India-South Africa match at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Rahane had played four home Tests and scored a total of 47 runs at a batting average of — it’s not a typo — 7.83 and a highest total of 15. After the Nagpur Test, India’s No.5 actually had worse numbers on home soil than their No.11.
Just like that, Viru Sehwag was gone

Only a handful of fans had taken their seats on this chilly, smoggy Thursday morning when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) conducted a felicitation function for the recently retired Virender Sehwag, who would fill up stadiums around the world when he batted in his pomp. Which, by the way, wasn’t very long ago.
