During the ongoing third and final Test in the three-match series between India and South Africa, the visitors lost a review after Ajinkya Rahane decided to go for it, and the replays showed a spike while the ball passed his bat. Rahane was dismissed for nine runs in the first innings.

Team India won the toss, and opted to bat first in the third and final Test of the three-match series in Cape Town. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, who displayed brilliant batting performance in the last two fixtures in the ongoing Test series, departed early in the first session. Rahul managed to score only 12 runs before falling to Duanne Olivier in the 12th over, while Mayank (15) departed in the very next over bowled by Kagiso Rabada.

Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara batted brilliantly in the first session after India had a poor start to their first innings. Pujara (43) looked confident with the bat, but the middle-order batsman fell to Marco Jansen in the 38th over. Ajinkya Rahane, who walked out to bat after the dismissal of Pujara, wasted a review as he decided to go for it, and the replays clearly showed a spike while the ball passed the right-hander’s bat. Rahane was dismissed for nine runs in the first innings of the Cape Town Test.
