Rahul Dravid shows electrifying agility in slip in Durban Test

In the fag end of his career, Rahul Dravid showed his electrifying agility in the slip by snapping his 200th catch in the test match. It was one of the best catches in the history of test cricket. Actually, the ball came off the bat to him from Dale Steyn with a lightning speed and he was unsighted by the wicket-keeper Dhoni. But he reacted in a fraction of second to dismiss the South African pacer. In fact, that catch lifted the spirit of the team as new comer Cheteswar Pujara took equally brilliant catch at short leg. Now the match is evenly poised and the Proteas has two genuine speedsters in their line up who had already hard time to the frontline batsmen of Team India as they lost four wickets on Monday. The 22-yard green bouncy pitch can also play tricks for spinner Chris Harris. So the first hour is very crucial for both the teams as anything over 250 runs in the second innings may prove handy in this lively track.
