India off-spinner Sneh Rana (3-61) depended on channel bowling to get three wickets on the second day of the one-off Test against South Africa but also benefitted from the variable bounce due to considerable deterioration of the Chepauk track.

"My plan is simple - do channel bowling and use more of your stock balls. We saw videos of their [SA] top four-five batters and planned against them," Rana said. "There was not enough turn initially on this track, and we had to use our fingers and hard grip quite a lot. But, as the wicket kept deteriorating, we saw more [variable] bounce and turn. There is always a challenge with the wickets, and we are always prepared for it," Rana added.
