Sourav Ganguly India coach India cricket
The game on third day was curtailed after umpires took the players from the field in the wake of Dean Elgar being hit in the grill by a bouncer from Jasprit Bumrah.
Nightwatchman Kagiso Rabada frustrated India for nearly all of the first session on Thursday as South Africa went to lunch on 81-3 and 106 runs behind in the third and final test.
"I think about 250. even if it gets to 270", he said when asked what target South Africa could manage. A livid Gavaskar told PTI, "The Indian batsmen should be commended for scoring 240-odd because it is a hard pitch no doubt".
With ten minutes of day's play remaining, it started to drizzle, forcing the groundsmen to put the covers on and call it a day.
However, things took a risky turn towards the end of the day as Dean Elgar was struck on the helmet off a delivery from Bumrah. He and Amla survived a torrid first hour during which Kumar in particular was nearly unplayable in a spell of one for one in six overs.
WICKET! Mohammed Shami's cameo of 27 has come to an end, as Lungi Ngidi gets his first wicket in this innings. "Play on Friday was suspended shortly before the scheduled close because the on-field umpires wanted to consult the match referee regarding the condition of the pitch", the ICC stated.
The Wanderers' pitch has coming under criticism from former cricketers and commentators for its risky nature.
Matches have been called off due to the pitch being risky earlier also. At the Wanderers, Rahane showed us what the fuss was all about with a batting display in which he looked head and shoulders above everybody else. However, amidst speculations over the fate of the Test, it was confirmed late in the day that the Test will resume at Day 4 on Saturday.

The island has been sectored into seven regions for purposes of the restoration. The equipment is scheduled to arrive just ahead of the crews.
South Africa coach Ottis Gibson has said that the teams are ready to continue playing on the Wanderers pitch.
Opener Dean Elgar fell early for South Africa without adding to his overnight score of 4.
South Africa have fielded four quicks in each of the first two Tests of the series; Vernon Philander's development as a batsman has led to his shift up to No.7 in the order, leaving room for three more quicks and left-arm spinner Maharaj.
"They should have come to a conclusion earlier in the day that this is risky". He hit six fours out of the 68 deliveries he faced.
"Look, I am happy with lateral movement, like we saw in the first Test (at Cape Town)". Because when we played in India, we prepared turners, so we knew that we'll get wickets like this when we come here.
Both captains were called into a meeting with Pycroft and the umpires after Friday's curtailed play in accordance with International Cricket Council regulations.
On a wicket that a number of players in this Test have described as the toughest they have ever played on, Kohli has been superb.
