<p>

Miss: Cheteshwar Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara's appalling running between the wickets added to India's growing list of woes on the ongoing tour of South Africa as the Saurashtra batsman ran himself out in both the innings at Centurion.

Moreover, he became the first Indian and 23rd batsman overall, to be run out twice in a Test and first since New Zealand's Stephen Fleming against Zimbabwe in 2000.

India’s Test specialist Pujara also registered the first golden duck of his career when he ran himself out in the first innings at the SuperSport Park on Sunday.

The 29-year-old took on debutant Lungi Ngidi, but a direct hit got the better of him.

Overall, Pujara now has five ducks in Test cricket and interestingly, he has been run out for the most number of times in Test cricket since 2012.
