KL Rahul superb from the startIndia progressed to 83 without loss by lunch with openers Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul playing well and missing out on nothing. India had reached 245 for 3 when the second new ball was made available to South Africa. India were impressive for a team chasing their first series win in South Africa immediately letting the Proteas know they can’t expect the meek efforts of yesteryear to be repeated. At stumps India were 272 for 3 and Rahul’s 122 not out is already the highest score by an Indian opener in a Test match in South Africa. Rahul will have chance to add to those runs while Ajinkya Rahane will want to build on his unbeaten 40.
