Virat Kohli Magic! Alters Bail And Wicket Follows For India vs South Africa In 1st Test
India toiled hard to break the South African defence on the second day of the first Test in Centurion. After KL Rahul's classy ton guided India to 245, wickets were hard to come by for the visitors. After Mohammed Siraj dismissed Aiden Markram early on, Dena Elgar and Tony de Zorzi struck a great stand. From 11/1 they took South Africa to 104 before the second wicket fell. Jasprit Bumrah got the wickets of de Zorzi and Keegan Petersen in quick succession.
