South Africa have ended Day 1 of the ongoing second Test match against India at The Wanderers, Johannesburg on a high.
In what came as a major blow to the Indian camp, their Test skipper Virat Kohli, was forced to miss the Test due to a lower back injury, which meant that KL Rahul had to take up the leadership duty.
Having opted to bat, KL Rahul notched up a gritty half-century in his very first match as team India skipper, and his 12th overall in the longest format. Runs were hard to come by, courtesy a disciplined bowling performance by the Proteas pacers led by Marco Jansen who returned with figures of 17-5-31-4, including the wickets of both the Indian opening batters.
The 21-year-old, along with the able assistance of Duanne Olivier (17-1-64-3) and Kagiso Rabada (17.1-2-64-3) bundled up the renowned Indian batting order sans Kohli for 202 in 63.1 Overs.
Continuing with his decent run of form, Rahul was India’s top-scorer with a gritty knock of 50 (133), with the middle-order yet again failing to impress. Ravichandran Ashwin (46 off 50), coming in at no.7 made sure India did put on some fight to reach a respectable score.

With Day 1 remaining uninterrupted the entire day, the second day’s play as well, if the weather forecast is to be believed, is likely to proceed without any weather disturbances of any sort.
