The second India versus South Africa Test continued on Day 4 in Pune with the hosts enforcing the follow-on after bundling out the visitors for 275 in response to their mammoth first innings total of 601/5 (declared). 

Ishant Sharma struck early and got the wicket of opener Aiden Markram for a duck to stamp India's authority. 

But a moment brilliance thereafter from wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha made everyone sit up and take notice. 

Saha took a fantastic grab down the leg-side after Proteas No.3 Theunis de Bruyn nicked off the bowling of Umesh Yadav. 

The 34-year-old is on a comeback to India's Test side after 20-month injury lay-off that culminated just prior to the tour of Caribbean in August where Rishabh Pant played ahead of him. 

Rated as one of the world's best glovesman, Saha eventually replaced the young wicketkeeper-batsman for the start of this Test series in Visakhapatnam and is showing off why the team management has so much faith in his abilities, especially in these conditions.
