IND vs SA Highlights, 3rd Test, Day 1

India vs South Africa 3rd Test, Day 1 Highlights: Keegan Petersen dropped Mayank Agarwal for a duck but he and KL Rahul scored runs at a decent rate. After batting well for 11 overs, India lost two wickets in as many overs. While Duanne Olivier removed Rahul on 12, Rabada got the better of Agarwal on 15.  Currently, Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli are in the middle.

The next partnership turned out to be a short one as Rabada bagged his second wicket, removing Ajinkya Rahane on 9. In at no.6, Rishabh Pant didn't shy away from playing a few shots as Kohli crawled to 40. In the 52nd over, there was a bit of a controversy related to the DRS but the players moved past it quickly. Eventually, India reached 141-4 at Tea. Kohli and Pant continued in the same vein after the break as Kohli hit a boundary to get to his 28th Test fifty and bring up a 50-run stand with Pant. Soon after, Jansen removed Pant on 27. R Ashwin came but he left after 10 balls as Jansen scalped his wicket. Shardul Thakur hit a wonderful six and four but was dismissed by Keshav Maharaj on 12 after 9 balls. India were reduced to 8 down when Bumrah was out caught behind off Rabada.

Superb bowling effort from the Proteas
They lost the toss but didn't lose hope at any point. Apart from Kohli's 79, no other Indian batter could get going and only Virat knows how hard he was made to work during his 201-ball knock. KG Rabada, with 4 wickets, and Marco Jansen, with 3, were the pick of the bowlers.

Jan 11, 2022 08:36 pm IST

Jan 11, 2022 08:24 pm IST
OUT! There will not be a Kohli century today
Heartbreak for Indian fans as Kohli perished for 79. The India captain is out caught behind off the bowling of Rabada. Walks across and while trying to guide the ball, edges it to the keeper. India 211/9. On another day, had there been some more resistance shown by India's batters, things might have been different.
Jan 11, 2022 08:16 pm IST

Jan 11, 2022 08:10 pm IST
Enters Boom, entertainment guaranteed
Bumrah tries to play the late cut off Maharaj but the ball goes straight to the fielder. Kohli enjoyed it. Maharaj followed it with a floater that rapped Bumrah on the pads. A huge appeal endued but no harm done. It will be interesting to watch how Kohli approaches this with seven wickets down.

India Vs South Africa 3rd Test Live: FOUR AND GONE
FOUR! Thakur now smacks Maharaj for a boundary! A drag down from Keshav and Thakur hammers the ball of the backfoot through extra-cover for 4
OUT! Softest of dismissals you'll see all day. Thakur has to go! First wicket of the series for Maharaj. Tosses it up and Thakur looked to nudge the ball softly. Gets the leading edge and is caught by Petersen at short cover. The umpires needed the TV umpire to confirm whether the fingers were under the ball.

Jasprit Bumrah walks in next

KOHLI-SA REVIEW CONTROVERY 
HOW'S THAT? NOT-OUT! SA REVIEW! Olivier strays down leg and Kohli misses the flick. The ball is caught Verreynne, the SA keeper. UltraEdge showed the faintest of spikes as the ball passed the bat and there was a huge spike as the ball brushed the thigh pad. 
UMPIRE GIVES NOT-OUT, SAW LOSE REVIEW AND THERE IS DISBELIEF!
Interesting. Elgar and Kohli have a chat as the fielders take a while to get back to their positions.
IND are 139/4 after 52 overs.
