Pujara sustains bruised forearm, fit to bat

Indian team management confirmed that the forearm injury sustained by Cheteshwar Pujara is not very serious and he will be able to bat during India's second innings.

While fielding at short-leg, Pujara was hit by a full-blooded pull shot from South Africa's left-handed opener Dean Elgar. It was the fourth ball of the eighth over and the bowler was Umesh Yadav.
