But Pakistan dealt a big blow before the start of the play on reserve day as speedster Rauf will not be bowling in the remainder of the match due to the inflammation in his oblique muscle.
The incessant rain on Sunday forced the match into a reserve day after just 24.1 overs of play were possible.
Skipper Rohit Sharma (56) and fellow opener Shubman Gill (58) gave India a blazing start in a stand of 121 off 100 balls to put Pakistan on the backfoot.
Virat Kohli, on eight, and KL Rahul, on 17, were batting when rain forced the players off and groundstaff worked tirelessly to try and restart the game after showers stopped.
