Watch: Olivier Rocks Pujara, Rahane In Back To Back Deliveries

Watch: Duanne Olivier Dismisses Pujara, Rahane In Back To Back Deliveries IND v SA 2nd Test.

IND v SA: For the last few months, all eyes have been on two batters whenever the Indian team plays a test match - Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. And the interesting part is, both their names are taken together - if there's a talk of Rahane, then Pujara is also discussed and vice-versa. 

It looks like the two batters also enjoy each other's company while traveling. When India flew to South Africa last month, Pujara and Rahane were sitting together on the flight. 

The duo hasn't improved in terms of form and in the total three innings they have batted in South Africa, they haven't contributed much to the scoreboard. And now it seems like they now want to get dismissed together as well. 

On the first day of 2nd test, Pujara played 33 balls for his three runs before Duaanne Olivier got him out with extra bounce. With Virat Kohli not playing, Ajinkya Rahane came out to bat at number four and was instantly dismissed on the first ball - the first golden duck of his Test career.

The lack of runs and the manner of their dismissals have put a lot of pressure on both senior batters. We could be seeing the last of Pujara and Rahane in this series.
