We say that cricket is a game of uncertainty so it is wise not to predict what will happen next. But senior sports reporter, Vikrant Gupta predicted the target accurately for India against South Africa in the second Test at Centurion. He tweeted that the number 287 was ringing in his mindspace and if that could be the target India got to win at Centurion. A few hours later, his prediction came true when South Africa got all out on 258 setting India a target of 287.
The number 287 is somehow ringing in my mindspace! Could that be the target India get to win Centurion – 287 ??? #IndvsSA

AB de Villiers played a magnificent innings scoring 80 runs. He was well assisted by Dean Elgar who scored 61 runs. The skipper, Faf du Plessis(48) added some valuable runs with the tail helping the team to get past 250.
In reply, Virat Kohli led Team India could manage to score just 35 runs at a loss of 3 wickets at the end of day’s play. Neither Indian openers nor Virat Kohli could face the fierce South African bowling attack on the pitch with uneven bounce. Now, in this situation, do you think we need anyone to tell what the more likely result will be?
