India’s second innings saw a meager 131 runs in 34.1 overs after successfully bowling out South Africa for 408 runs in 108.4 overs. Despite Virat Kohli managing to score a half-century, India’s batting performance was not enough as they suffered a defeat by an innings and 32 runs against South Africa in the opening Test in Centurion. South Africa extended their overnight score of 256 for 5 by adding 152 runs, resulting in an overall lead of 163 runs. The Proteas’ pace trio, consisting of Nandre Burger (4/33), Kagiso Rabada (2/32), and Marco Jansen (3/36), effectively stifled the Indian team with their disciplined attack.
