Score heavy in first innings in Ranchi: Faf du Plessis tells SA batsmen

By Saurabh Sharma October 17, 2019 • 15:48 PM View: 1088

Ranchi, Oct 17: Having already lost the three-match series, South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis has called on his players to come out with an improved performance, especially with the bat when they face India in the final Test beginning Saturday in Ranchi.

The Proteas have not been able to make use of their first innings -- barring the Vizag Test where they managed to score 431 in reply to India's 502. India, on the other hand, have dominated by getting big runs in their first innings. In the first Test, the hosts scored 502 runs while they put on 601 runs in Pune.
