Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar slammed Rohit Sharma and Co for a 'listless' start to the action on Day 3 of the first Test match against South Africa in Centurion on Thursday. Dean Elgar and Marco Jansen were not bothered much by the Indian bowlers and there were even a couple of fielding errors that led to easy runs. Gavaskar was not happy with India's approach in the first session on Day 3 and said that they should have been 'full of energy' at the start of day's play.
India were at the receiving end on the third day of the first Test against South Africa in Centurion as a resolute Dean Elgar's 185 helped the hosts take a massive lead.

Elgar (185 off 287 balls), whose previous highest Test score is 199, was inching towards his maiden double hundred before a faint tickle to leg-side bouncer from Shardul Thakur brought about his end.

Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli failed to capitalise on a good start after he was dismissed by South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada on Day 1 of the first Test match in Centurion on Tuesday. Kohli survived an early chance as Tony De Zorzi dropped his catch off the bowling of Nandre Burger and just when India fans were hoping for another half-century from Kohli, he feel victim to a ripper from Rabada. The delivery pitched outside the off-stump and maintained his line while Kohli tried to play it with some hands. He ended up edging it behind the stumps as wicket-keeper Kyle Verreynne completed an easy catch. Kohli was visibly disappointed with the dismissal and after the umpire raised his finger, Kohli practiced the shot by himself as if to rectify his mistake.
