When Rohit and Rahane woke up, they had both expected that they would be in the hospital.

Rohit's heart sank as he realised that it had been just a dream--meaning, he and Jinks were still at odds.

Rahane felt much the same way when he realised it had been a dream too.

Another thing they both agreed on separately was that it had been a bit too real-like.

From the next day, there was a marked change in their equation. Though they still avoided each other mostly, there was no coldness or hostility. In fact, it almost seemed as if they were too embarassed to talk to each other.

Kohli had an unexpectedly easy time of announcing the final team.

The first day ended with SA on 269/6. The second day ended with India being 4-down--neither Vijay, nor Rahul, Pujara or Rohit had made much of an impact.

As usual, Kohli was India's only hope.
