WATCH: Keegan Petersen’s gravity-defying catch to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara on Day 3 in Cape Town
Keegan Petersen produced a spectacular catch to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara in the second delivery of the morning on day three of the third Test between South Africa and India in Cape Town.
India finished day two on an overnight score of 57/2, with an overall lead of 70 runs. Cheteshwar Pujara was on strike to face Marco Jansen in the first over of day three.
Although Pujara played out the first delivery safely, he was dismissed in the very second delivery by Jansen as he tried to play a short delivery down the leg side. Pujara ended up glowing it and Petersen took a superb acrobatic catch in the leg slip.

India were jolted early with Pujara’s wicket but they suffered another big blow as Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed in the very next over by Kagiso Rabada by another short delivery. India are now 76/4 with Kohli and Rishabh Pant at the crease, with their overall lead going up to 89.
