South Africa's Kagiso Rabada has left his IPL team Gujarat Titans to return home due to personal reasons, the franchise said in a statement on Thursday.
South Africa fast bowler says plans are in already in motion in their quest to take the World Test Championship mace off Australia at Lord's in June.
Rabada claimed the No.1 spot on the back of strong form for the Proteas during the ongoing ICC World Test Championship, with the right-armer taking his 300th Test wicket during South Africa's recent seven-wicket triumph over Bangladesh in Mirpur.
"With 16 wickets on day one, I'd say it's leaning towards the bowlers," Rabada said.
Steady rain restricted play to just the final session on the fourth day.
Rabada called on all the players in the tournament to seize the moment.
It was Rabada's 14th five-wicket haul in his 61st Test and his fourth in eight Tests at Centurion, but his first against India.
India were 208 for eight when bad light followed by rain brought an early close.
Kohli and Iyer went on to add 68 for the fourth wicket before both were dismissed in an inspired three-wicket spell by Rabada immediately after lunch.

Star South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has appealed a ban that ruled him out of the remaining two Tests of a series against Australia, the International Cricket Council (ICC) says.
Having failed to take advantage of favourable first Test conditions, the Bangladesh batsmen have a chance to make amends against the least experienced bowling line-up South Africa have fielded in many years.
The return of Kagiso Rababa means England's faltering batsmen will face an even stronger attack than the one that ran through them at Trent Bridge.
South Africa stand-in skipper Dean Elgar says Kagiso Rabada's ban from the second match of the England series is a "big loss for Test cricket" and not just the Proteas.
