The first Test between India and South Africa starts today at Centurion. India captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat.
Indian openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal got off to a good start. Both scored fifty and scored 117 for the first wicket. Mayank Agarwal was bowled out for 60 by Lungi Ingidi. Pujara then came on the field and was out with a golden duck off the first ball.
Virat Kohli, who was then paired with KL Rahul, got off to a great start. But he failed to turn the start he got into a big innings. Rahul and Kohli combined for 80 for the 3rd wicket. Rahane paired up with Rahul, who was dismissed for 35 by the goalie.
Although Ajinkya Rahane has not played well recently, he was given the opportunity to rely on his talent and experience. Rahane uses it well, relaxes and beats at the same time. Along with Rahul he is swinging well. Despite the wickets falling at one end, KL Rahul, who was standing at the other end, scored a century.
KL Rahul and Rahane are playing well together. The Indian team has lost 3 wickets and is going for 250 runs. With both Rahul and Rahane settling well on the field, the Indian team will definitely score big.
