On Friday, Ajinkya Rahane scored his 20th Test half-century to extend India's dominance in the second Test.
Earlier, Mayank Agarwal displayed a batting masterclass as he brought up his second Test century.
Agarwal was hit on the helmet by a bouncer from debutant Anrich Nortje, but the opener came back strongly and smashed Nortje for three boundaries in an over.
Virat Kohli had won the toss and opted to bat but Rohit Sharma, the twin-centurion in the previous Test, could not replicate the batting masterclass displayed in Vizag. Kagiso Rabada's fierce pace and consistency were rewarded as Rohit Sharma was dismissed on 14 in the 10th over.
India are 1-0 up in the three-match series and will look to put a mammoth first innings total on the board in Pune.
